Summary

Does God want me to be single forever? How do I know whether or not I have the "gift" of singleness? How do I hold on to hope when the future seems so unknown and so unclear?

0:00.0	Hey, friends, welcome back to the Love and Relationships podcast. I'm your host, Deborah Feleda,
0:23.1	and I'm so excited to have the chance to have these candid conversations with you about love,
0:28.6	sex, dating, singleness, and marriage. For those of you who don't know me, or if you're tuning in
0:33.5	for the first time, I'm a licensed professional counselor specializing in relationship issues.
0:39.3	I also run the Relationship Advice blog, TrueLovDates.com, reaching millions of people with the
0:45.0	message of healthy relationships. And as you'll find out about me, that's something I'm really
0:50.1	passionate about. If you've tuned into this podcast for a while, you know that it's generally
0:54.7	a hotline style podcast, meaning people call in with the relationship questions and we talk
0:59.8	through them on the show. But because I've received so many of your questions, I decided I needed
1:06.4	to do these little mini episodes where I'll be taking the questions that you've sent my way via

1:57.7	And they want to know, like, does God want me to be single forever how do I know if I'm
2:03.4	called to singleness if I have the gift of singleness we've all heard that phrase in
2:09.2	Christian culture one of my readers wrote to me if singleness is a gift then I'm holding on to the
2:15.3	gift receipt because I'm returning this thing. And I had to laugh
2:19.1	at that, but it's so true for so many people that they're struggling with this question. And it's actually
2:27.3	one of the greatest fears of the singles that I meet is the idea that being single and alone forever
