Amazing podcast!

I have listened to many podcasts and read many books about the time of singleness and this podcast has been the most helpful. This podcast really emphasizes God’s plan in the time of singleness and makes this season of life (temporary or permanent) more enjoyable and an opportunity to find more ways to serve Him.
