About this listen

Is singleness a spiritual gift? We say no. In this candid round-table, Natasha, Monique, and David unpack the church cliché and get honest about desire, hormones, and holiness. We dig into 1 Corinthians 7:7–9 (“better to marry than burn”) and show why Paul isn’t offering a lust-management loophole or promising a supernatural removal of sexual desire. Instead, we explore singleness and marriage as good gifts—seasons in which God calls us to devotion and self-control (a fruit of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22–23), not a pass on discipleship. We talk temptation vs. sin (Matthew 5:27–28), why marriage won’t “fix” porn or lust patterns, and practical pathways like fasting for training our desires toward Christ. Plus: a teaser for our upcoming series on the Fruits of the Spirit from a single-life lens.
