    Jan 23 2026

    EP. 46 | Pumped to announce our 4-episode marriage series as The Single Man Podcast starts to come to a close! Episode 46 kicks it all off with Theo and Cara. They met at 27, got married at 28, and now at 32 - just celebrated their 4-year-anniversary! It all started with one bold decision Theo made when he felt like he had nothing to lose. Theo is Palestinian American and was my first ever friend who was also Palestinian American, Cara is Romanian, and together they unpack what it really looked like to navigate long distance dating, intentional time of not communicating, what they wish they knew before marriage + their top pieces of advice for anyone currently single!

  • Hitting Rock Bottom In Your 20s | New Age, Mushrooms & Alignment With God | EP. 44
    Jan 9 2026

    EP. 44 | In this powerful Episode 44, Carlton sits down with Hunter Hanna, a 25-year-old single man who hit rock bottom in his 20s after exploring partying, drinking, drugs, and New Age spirituality. Everything on the outside looked “good,” but when Hunter started asking himself, “Why Am I Alive?”, a small still voice stirred him to seek Jesus and everything began to shift. As he shares how spiritual warfare and strongholds led him into solitude, endurance, and alignment with God, Hunteralso unpacks how his view of dating has changed as a single man and what he’d tell any man who feels purposeless or like there has to be more to life.
