Is singleness a blessing or a curse? Is marriage the Christian “default” position? What about singles and the church?  How do singles address the question of intimacy? Brett speaks from his own experience as a single and draw on the experiences of others. He looks first at Paul’s views on singleness and celibacy in 1 Corinthians 7. Then he looks at the following dimensions of singleness: the challenges of being single, the importance of being the Church, and opportunities for ministry by and to singles. He ends by looking at the question of intimacy and God’s provision for singles in this area. The Copyright for all material on the podcast is held by L'Abri Fellowship.
