You know that there's quite a few singles.

Yeah.

That listen to family life today, marriage and family radio podcast.

Which is really exciting, isn't it? Yeah I mean we get letters

emails that say that this program can help them get a vision for marriage and

what family and marriage can look like. And not only that but relationships too because a lot of what we talk about

applies to any kind of the relationships that matter most.

I'm Shelby Abbott and your hosts are Dave and Wilson. You can find us at family life today.com.

This is family life today. Today we get to talk about singleness and clear up some of the

misconceptions and we have Sam Albury with us who's written about this but Sam welcome to family life today.

Thank you for having me good to be with you. Yeah and you know what right away there's some

listeners going he has an accent where's that come from? Well I like to think I don't have an

accent but everyone else does. I'm from the UK so the Queen's English or

something like that is what I'm trying to speak. When I preach every once in a while I'll try and my son's told me, Dad, just don't try,

you're terrible.

It's embarrassing, but yours is real and you've written a book called The Seven myths about singleness.

Many of our listeners know you but you've been a pastor, a regular conference speaker, a global speaker.

You've wrote a book called is God, anti-gay and why bother with the church?

But this one is all about singleness in the seven myths, so I don't know if we'll get through

all the myths today, but talk about this why a book

on singleness? Lots of reasons really I'm one is that I am single so it's an issue

I've had to think through a lot myself I've had to think through how is this inexperience of God's goodness in my own life.
