Description

Lewie Clark, author of Single-Minded Service: Recovering the Essential Role of Singles in Kingdom Leadership, joins us to talk about singles in ministry. He shares some of the biases about singles and ways singles are misrecognized. Some think singles are incomplete, doomed to discontentment, limited in ministry and not as blessed as those who are married. Lewie calls us to rethink our stereotypical image of single brothers and sisters. We will talk a bit about a theology of singleness and discover how married and single people are called and equipped to be Kingdom-first seekers.
