    Waiting for the Right Person Without Putting Life on Hold
    Oct 14 2026
    Singleness can be a complicated season. There can be gratitude for the freedom and opportunities God provides, while still carrying the very real desire to find someone to share life with. If you've ever found yourself wondering when, or if, that person will come along, you're not alone.

    Lindsay Crane is here to share what it's like to hope for a relationship while building a full, meaningful life right where she is. From boldly carrying a tote bag that says she's single to learning how to embrace her identity beyond relationship status, she reflects on faith, vulnerability, and the courage to stay open to God's plans.

    Click PLAY for a refreshing reminder that your life doesn't begin when you meet the right person, and that sometimes the most beautiful part of the journey is becoming comfortable in who God created you to be along the way.
