Are you one of the singles who need to feel understood? How do you process the hardships in your life alone? Do you wonder why there are so many singles who are looking for community but not a lot of places to find it? My podcast guest today with Kate Hurley will make you laugh at the silly things singles hear and be touched by her struggles with depression and chronic sickness.

Kate Hurley was a touring musician for 14 years, playing everywhere from castles in Germany to villages in India to 15,000 people hippie gatherings. She has made 5 solo albums, including an upcoming live worship album. Her voice ushers you into the presence of God. I have her album on repeat. She had a popular blog on singleness for many years, and wrote a book called "Getting Naked Later: Making Sense of the Unexpected Single Life." (formerly Cupid is a Procrastinator.) Both titles just crack me up. And it reflects the witty person Kate is too.

Today we talk about singleness but if you're married don't tune out because Kate is now dating and has more to say about being in a relationship.
