Let’s talk about singleness—not just from the surface, but from a kingdom perspective. Too often, singleness is seen as a waiting room, a season we rush through to get to what’s “next.” But what if we saw it for what it truly is—a time to grow, build, and become?
Like a cake, life has layers. Singleness is just one slice, not the whole thing. It’s not a punishment, a setback, or a limitation—it’s a piece of cake. It’s layered and everyone has their own slice.
The Right Ingredients Matter
2 Peter 1:5-7 gives us a recipe for growth—faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and love. Love isn’t just something you fall into; it’s something you grow into. And just like baking, you can’t substitute the ingredients and expect the same results.
Faith can’t be replaced by fear.
Self-control can’t be swapped for self-satisfaction.
Love isn’t the same as lust.
Don’t Lower the Bar
We live in a culture where waiting is old-fashioned, commitment is optional, and sacrifice feels like too much. But God’s standards protect, not restrict.
I believe we can be a generation that lives up to God’s standard. As we do, kingdom marriages will emerge. We don’t have to wish for a new season we can pray for it.
This is a great season to pray for what you desire:

Every season, we must live in the tension of present and prepared
