Single and Christian: What We Get Wrong: Gen Z Roundtable

July 29, 2023

Single and Christian: Does it get a bad rap? On Real Life Loading, Shelby Abbott hosts Gen Z guests Barbara, Logan, Joshua, Chloe, and Zion, who ratchet concepts of singleness to the next level—which, they argue, can be a high-octane experience in God’s hands. They also get honest about what it’s really like to be single in the Church—including misconceptions, representation, leadership, and even what not to say to singles.
