1. The Power of Wisdom: Making Better Choices in Your Dating Life
Wisdom is essential—in your dating life and in your whole life. Without it we often do foolish things that hurt others or ourselves.
2. Waiting? 5 Important Ideas to Help You Wait Well
God has good reasons for delays. We may not always understand what He is doing or like it, but the One who loves us most asks us to obey his commands—not to withhold from us, but to protect us and guide us.
3. Building Confidence and a Solid Self Esteem
When you fail to see who you really are, you lose sight of your true worth and value. Like a pair of glasses with the wrong prescription, the lenses through which you’ve been viewing your life may have become distorted. And you need God’s perspective, the true view, to gain a clearer vision and see yourself as He sees you.
4. Brokenness and the Healing Power of Surrender
God is in the business of healing broken hearts and lives. He redeems our losses and messes for His good purposes. But it’s not always easy. The good news is that a transformation of the heart happens as we surrender to God our longing, our lack, our mess, our confusion, our whole hearts.
5. How the Church Can Welcome Singles and Help Them Thrive
While the church is a place to worship, connect and serve—a place to find community and fellowship—many singles find the church to be a lonely place. Some feel “less than” because of their marital status. They feel unseen, forgotten or left out…How do you meet their needs and ensure singles grow in their faith?

June 14, 2018 at 9:19 amSadly, churches seem to be afraid of singles, and that has gotten worse. In a city as large as Colorado Springs, where there used to be 3 or 4 large churches with organized singles groups, now there are zero. It is very sad that churches want to ignore the needs of single adults when about half the adult population in this country are single.
