Summary

Singleness is something that the Bible calls good, but do we really believe that? Is singleness just the stage of life before we “settle down”? Lisa Anderson is a Christian single woman who runs Boundless at Focus on The Family, a ministry that helps young adults to thrive in adulthood. Lisa shares her story and then helps us to think about singleness in the way the Bible describes it, not the way the culture around us—or even possibly how our local church culture—has influenced us to see it.
