A Raw Conversation on Paul's Comments, God's Goodness, and Pressure to Be Content ft. Lisa Harper

Description

What if singleness and marriage were never meant to be opposing seasons — but invitations to the same deeper goal? In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Lisa Harper shares her personal story of not choosing singleness — and discovering that Jesus meets us fully in the life we didn’t plan. Together, we explore the tension between longing for marriage and learning contentment, and unpack what Paul the Apostle truly meant when he wrote that singleness is a gift. Lisa opens up about grief, growth, unmet expectations, and the steady faithfulness of Christ. We look at the full context of 1 Corinthians 7, gently challenge cultural narratives, and reframe what it means to walk closely with Jesus in every season. _______ Books: How can YOU begin preparing for your future spouse?
