Part 5 - Being Single is Hard

from the wholehearted disciple · host Wendy Mann

What does it really cost to live single—and how do we bring those costs to God?In this episode, we talk honestly about the real challenges of singleness—not to diminish its value, but to honour the lived experience of those walking this path. While marriage and singleness are both gifts from God of equal worth, each carries genuine costs, and singleness is no exception.Drawing from personal experience, this session explores the pain of shame, loneliness, and unmet longing—especially in moments like family gatherings, major life decisions, pioneering leadership, and the grief of not having a family of your own. These struggles are named without minimising them, and held alongside the truth that God sees, understands, and cares deeply.This episode invites listeners to bring their pain honestly before God—to speak to Him about what feels costly, unfinished, or heavy—and to trust that His grace is sufficient for every need. You are not unseen, and your singleness is not without purpose or value.www.wendymannequip.com
