| 0:00.0 | Help for single women on this edition of Truth and Love. |
| 0:10.8 | I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth in Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified |
| 0:15.8 | Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems that people face. |
| 0:22.5 | And this week on the podcast, I am delighted to invite back Sean Perron, the former director of |
| 0:30.0 | operations for ACBC. He's now serving at First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Florida. |
| 0:36.1 | And Sean was able to catch up with Kristen Clark and Bethany Baird, the co-founders of |
| 0:41.0 | Girl Defined Ministries, which is a ministry that reaches out specifically to young women. |
| 0:47.2 | And so, Sean, so grateful you were able to sit down and have a discussion with Kristen and |
| 0:52.8 | Bethany, and we look forward to hearing the |
| 0:55.0 | result of that discussion. We're here with Kristen Clark and Bethany Baird, and we are so |
| 0:59.8 | excited that you guys are on the podcast with us today. We're actually recording this at the annual |
| 1:04.6 | conference, and you guys are giving a breakout session that we're very excited about, which is |
| 1:09.1 | hope and help for the single woman. They are the authors |
| 1:12.5 | of Love Defined and Girl Defined, which I have read and love. And endorsed. And endorsed. |

| 1:30.1 | I want to hear your thoughts on it and our listeners would be grateful for that. |
| 1:33.5 | Yeah. |
| 1:34.2 | Well, I think that single women in particular are kind of a group of people that sometimes can get looked over or looked past. |
| 1:41.7 | They, you know, they have these struggles and these longings, but it's not, you know, something that they're talking about all the time. And I know that I was in that season for a while, much longer than I was wanting to be, kind of like from 20, really until 29, was wanting to get married, wanting to move into that wonderful stage, but it wasn't happening. And I remember just feeling like, wow, this is something that I really have |
| 2:00.9 | no control over. I really have to learn to surrender to God, but it's hard. And it's just a struggle that I have to daily deal with, and I don't always know what to do with it. And, you know, people can kind of like, oh, say things like, your turn's coming. It's not a big deal. You know, say these things to make you kind of feel better in the moment, but it didn't really offer me any |
| 2:19.0 | lasting hope. And so it was kind of through my journey, |
