What if the thing you fear—letting people in—is the very thing that heals you fastest? We open up about why isolation intensifies shame, why “being right” without being known leaves you empty, and how a few safe relationships can anchor recovery, restore trust after betrayal, and steady your identity when everything feels uncertain.

We get practical about building community that actually helps. You’ll learn how to test for safety with small disclosures, look for integrity and honesty over warm fuzzies, and invite people who can play three vital roles: mirror (reflect what’s true), flashlight (illuminate options), and sandpaper (gently refine). We unpack rhythms that make connection feel secure—a standing coffee, a weekly check-in—and how prayer sharpens discernment so you can sense who’s trustworthy.

If you’ve been hurt by community, we name that grief and show how to re-enter wisely. Needs change across seasons; circles shift; God still provides the right companions for the chapter you’re in. We talk about interrupting addictive spirals with one simple text, why listening can heal more than advice, and how Jesus’ withness reframes everything—because love doesn’t demand you swim the ocean alone. You don’t need twenty people to begin. You need one safe person and a baby step.

Memory can feel like a trap… until it becomes a path back to wholeness. We chose remember as our word for the year, not to force a walk through old pain, but to gently re-member the parts of ourselves that splintered under grief, betrayal, and shame. Together we ask better questions, listen to what our bodies are telling us, and trust that God is already meeting us in the details we often overlook.

Press play if you’re ready to move from avoidance to gentle restoration and hear the song that’s already being sung over your life. If this helped you breathe easier, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more people find the show.

Singleness often exists in the shadows of our cultural conversation, especially in faith communities where marriage is frequently celebrated as the ultimate destination. But what if your life's unexpected path includes long-term singleness? How do you navigate sexuality, loneliness, and purpose when the "happily ever after" narrative hasn't materialized as planned?

Connelly Gillum, author of "Revelations of a Single Woman: Loving the Life I Didn't Expect," brings refreshing honesty to this conversation as she shares her journey through decades of singleness. After a relationship ended in her early 40s, Connelly faced what she believed might be the "consummate tragedy" of permanent singleness. Yet nearly twenty years later, she's discovered surprising fullness, purpose, and joy—not despite her singleness, but partially because of it.

The conversation doesn't shy away from difficult truths. Connelly candidly discusses how cultural messages about sexuality created a persistent wrestling match with God, leading her to suspect He might be "holding out" on her. The breakthrough came not through denying her sexuality or desires, but through reframing them as opportunities for self-giving rather than self-fulfillment. From supporting family during crisis to discovering the joys of hospitality, Connelly reveals how her singleness has allowed her unique ways to reflect Christ to those around her.

For singles beyond the typical ministry demographic of under-30, Connelly offers particularly valuable wisdom about grief and purpose. She emphasizes that acknowledging the genuine suffering of unsought singleness isn't wallowing—it's essential healing work that eventually leads to freedom. And her closing thoughts about how "God sets the lonely in families" provide hope for building meaningful connections beyond traditional family structures.

Whether you're single, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in a deeper understanding of singleness, this conversation will challenge assumptions and offer a fresh perspective on embracing the life you didn't expect.
