Today Kait and JJ are joined by Meredith Knox to talk about singles in the church and if singleness limits you in leadership or calling.

TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Introduction
06:50 Meredith Background
11:20 You’re in a relationship…why do you think you guys are content to take your time as opposed to how Christians typically a little more sped up?
14:30 The church didn’t INTEND to forget about singles… but in many ways they HAVE. And in many ways whether explicitly or implicitly they highlight marriage as the pinnacle. Can you talk about your experience with this for a moment?
20:00 It wouldn’t be too far fetched to say that the overwhelming majority of people in leadership positions in the church are married and is probably mostly men. Do you feel like you’ve experienced that gap as far as the single gap and how it’s viewed and then as a woman in leadership?
27:08 Do you feel like people’s singleness is limited when they do anything other than gaze at Jesus and what he has for them immediately in that moment?
28:43 Does singleness limit the ability to be a leader? Why do we see so few single pastors in the church?
36:40 FOR SINGLES who feel like singleness limits them and feel afraid to step out… what do you have to say to them?
45:20 We need to talk about the fact that many WOMEN specifically feel like their only SOLE purpose is to get married, be a wife, and be a mom… Can you talk about how the Old Testament command to “Be fruitful and multiply” isn’t confined to marriage and creating biological children?
