Singling Out Singles? Reflections on Singleness in the Church with Dr. Jana Bennett

Single Christians often encounter the church as a place where marriage and family are lifted up as the main ways to follow Christ faithfully. But there are Bible passages and historical moments that suggest otherwise. In this talk, we'll think through several different ways that Christians in the past have lived out singleness, including being "never married," "dating but not committed," and what happens when a person becomes "suddenly single" because of a spouse's death.
