Author: Jeanine Amapola February 3, 2026 Duration: 49:33
Kaleb and I are Kicking off our Relationship series by tackling a topic we ALL start at: singleness. Whether you’re single and thriving, single and frustrated, or just figuring it out — this episode is for you. We got real about what it’s like being single in today’s culture (Christian and not), the myths we were fed, and how to actually make the most of your single season. We talked about red flags, emotional baggage, addiction, and yes — the espresso martini epidemic 😂. But most importantly, we talked about how to live authentically, pursue purpose, and become the kind of person you’d want to date. In This Episode 01:00 – Why We’re Talking About Singleness 03:00 – What Being Single Really Feels Like 06:00 – Singleness in Christian Culture vs. the World 10:30 – What to Actually Do While You’re Single 14:45 – Do You Really Have to Be “Fully Healed” First? 19:00 – Addictions, Red Flags & Self-Accountability 24:00 – Living for Likes: The Social Media Trap 30:00 – That “Single Culture” Lifestyle (and Why It’s Risky) 41:00 – Final Advice: Secure in Christ, Not Just a Relationship Thanks to Our Sponsors BetterHelp: This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
