Christian Spiritual Journey of Singles
According to our survey results, most Christian singles agree that they are on a Christian spiritual journey. Unfortunately, most admit that they are clueless as to where that spiritual journey may lead. Therefore many seek guidance for their spiritual journey. Some seek spiritual gurus from Eastern religions. Others go to fortune tellers for help with their spiritual journey. It seems some people will try anything except a relationship with the one true God as found in the Holy Bible. The…
Advantages of Being Single: From a Christian Single Perspective

Alcohol Use Disorder Among Single Christians
This is a fact: Alcohol Use Disorder is much more prevalent among single people (across all age groups) than among those who are married.

Alcohol abuse is a significant societal problem affecting multiple demographic groups, including Christian singles. Despite the public image of sobriety often associated with the…

Making Peace with Your Past: A Christian’s Path Towards Spiritual Healing
Do you have an issue with making peace with your past? Many Christian singles can’t get over the past. Several years back, I went on a Christian singles retreat, where the topic at hand was making peace with my past. Christian single after Christian single shared their sad stories of how a bad past experience, a soured relationship, or a sexual sin had held them back from living victoriously in the present. Although many Christian singles there that weekend desired…
Christian Dating Advice: Dating a Friend-Should Friends Date?
Thinking about dating a friend? Should I confess to my crush? But should friends date? A Christian single guy wrote us asking if it’s a good idea if best friends to date one another. So what do you think? Should friends date each other?

How to Let Go of a Toxic Christian Dating Relationship
Sometimes learning how to let go of a toxic Christian dating relationship can be harder than finding a girlfriend or boyfriend. Even when we know letting go of a particular relationship is in our best interest, like in the case of an abusive dating relationship, or dating a married person, or dating an unbeliever, it is not always an easy decision. Many times a Christian single may struggle over feeling guilty or think that the right person will never come into…
Sexual Purity as a Single Christian: A Path From Impurity
Sexual purity is a difficult topic for Christian singles. It doesn’t matter if you are a single woman or man, or whether you believe in courtship or traditional dating. Yes, remaining sexually pure as a single Christian is a real battle, a tug-o-war between our raging hormones and desires, and our Lord’s plan for our lives in this area: “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified, that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn…
Unrequited Love: How to Get Over Unrequited Love as a Christian
How does one get over unrequited love? In my personal experience, unrequited love is like death, only worse. Unrequited love occurs when the person you absolutely are “head over heels” in love with does not reciprocate the same desire and feelings. Can you think of anything more emotionally and spiritually painful than unrequited love? At least in death a Christian single is done with pain. In unrequited love the pain just goes on and on. Sigh. If it’s really true…
The Great Commission and Single Adults
In a previous article related to the Great Commission and single adults, we mentioned that single adults are one of the most unchurched groups of people. Although the Great Commission commands us to preach the gospel to every creature, million of singles are unreached and still living in spiritual darkness. Why is this? The sad but true story is that many churches and individual Christians do not take the great Commission seriously. For example, in his influential book, The Disciple-Making…

She is worth far more than rubies.” Christian single men, whether they are college teens or single parents, would benefit by checking out this chapter of Scripture. In fact, any man would be in hog…

Commitment phobes (no, I didn’t make this term up!) can be both male and female, Christian and non-Christian, teens, single parents or seniors. Commitment phobia among singles can occur for several reasons. However, most commitment phobic men and women truly…
