Summary
Welcome to a very special episode of Midweek Rise Up where I get a chance to sit down with my husband Charlie Kirk and hash out some questions submitted on my instagram about being single in today’s world and trying to date or find your future spouse. We had some fun banter, but I have to say, there’s some tough love in this episode. Some might agree with our answers, others might not, but regardless we wanted to share what was on our hearts.
If you’re listening to this today and you’re still single, keep going, continue to put God first. Everything else will fall into place. God knows the desires of your heart, trust that, and trust His timing. Whatever is meant for you will NOT pass you by.
We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome to a very special episode of Midweek Rise Up where I get a chance to sit down with my |
| 0:10.0 | amazing husband, Charlie Kirk, and hash out some questions submitted on my Instagram about being |
| 0:15.8 | single in today's world, trying to date, and finding your future spouse. We had some fun banter, but I have to say |
| 0:22.8 | there's some tough love in this episode. Really tough love. Some might agree with our answers. |
| 0:28.8 | Others might not. Others might find them a little harsh. But regardless, we wanted to share what was |
| 0:34.0 | on our hearts. And I also want to say just real quick as a quick disclaimer, |
| 0:38.7 | which should be apparent, but I want to do a disclaimer on this because I think it's important. |
| 0:43.2 | If you're in an abusive relationship or are suffering from the repercussions and PTSD from an |
| 0:48.5 | abusive relationship, these answers would be very different. And I pray that you are surrounded by loving individuals |
| 0:55.8 | who can pour into you and can counsel you through this time and know that you are loved |
| 1:01.1 | and that God restores all things, because as it says in Joel chapter 2, verse 25, |
| 1:06.8 | God will restore to you the years that the locust have eaten. |
| 1:12.6 | And also, if you were called to a life of celibacy or singleness, again, there's nothing wrong with that. God is good and his will is perfect. |
| 1:19.2 | So with that said, again, this episode is riddled with tough love, but all love. And for those of you |
| 1:24.8 | who are single that are listening to this, I pray that you continue to |
| 1:28.4 | put God first. That is the most important thing. Always put God first and that you focus on the |
| 1:34.0 | amazing things in your life that you have that are life giving rather than focusing on the areas of |
| 1:39.5 | your life where there's lack. Yes, it's very healthy to be able to assess your life and to find out where |
| 1:45.0 | there's areas in your life for improvement. It's very important. But do not stay there. Don't dwell on |
| 1:50.6 | that. Create an action plan and put it to work. Grow, improve all the glory to God. Everything else will |
| 1:58.6 | fall into place. Trust me, God's timing is so perfect and so |
| 2:03.4 | incredible. God knows the desires of your heart. Trust that and continue to carry forward because |
