Summary

I’ve heard from so many singles over the past few weeks who are struggling and looking for some encouragement as they navigate this time of social distancing and quarantine. So I invited my single friend, Lisa Anderson, to join me as we discuss ways to thrive during this hard time. Lisa is the director of the young adults ministry of Focus on the Family called Boundless, and she is a single woman who I consider as one who is THRIVING in what God has called her to do. In this important episode, we cover: How to deal with the isolation that comes during this time. What to practically do with your unmet need for physical touch. Why accountability is important during this time. How to infuse meaning and purpose during this time. How to get your emotional needs met right now. And so many other amazing tips, advice, and encouragement for singles! If you’re single, or know someone who is, I invite you to tune in to this bonus episode of the Love + Relationships Podcast, and ask God to open your heart to what He is doing around you and through you during this time.
