In this episode, our hosts Caleb and Cathy are joined alongside Perimeter staff members Jamie Voss and Jackie Lucas to discuss singleness, contentment, and trust. Throughout the conversation, Jamie and Jackie share their own journeys in singleness and the ways the Lord has met them, shaped their desires, and given purpose in their stories. God gives both singleness and marriage as a gift, so how can we honor Him through something that can feel like punishment or withholding?

Our hosts work to reframe scriptures like Psalm 37:4 and 1 Corinthians 7, discuss how we can trust God with our desires, as well as advice Jackie and Jamie would give to their married friends to better support the single people in their lives.

We pray this episode brings encouragement in your singleness, ultimately trusting that God gives each season as a gift to draw us closer to Himself.
