The Single Life: Faith and Mental Health in the Church.

Sunburnt Souls is a Christian Mental Health Podcast. Today, we find out what’s it really like to navigate Christian singleness in your 20s and 30s—while guarding your mental health and staying true to your faith? In this candid conversation, Dom and Sara join Dave to talk dating with purpose, resisting the pressure to “settle,” building real community, and cultivating what Dom calls “mental stamina” for the waiting seasons.They unpack awkward church moments, red flags on dating apps, the temptation to fix things in your own strength (hello, Abraham and Hagar), and the freedom and Kingdom opportunity that often come with singleness. The episode closes with a short prayer for listeners who feel alone, discouraged, or stuck.Perfect for: single Christians, pastors and leaders who want to serve singles better, and anyone curious about the intersection of faith, relationships, and wellbeing.What We CoverThe reality of being single, professional women of faith in today’s churches“Dating with purpose” vs ticking a Christian box on appsThe pull to compromise and why it doesn’t satisfy long-termCultivating “mental stamina” and guarding your inner dialogueFreedom, availability, and Kingdom opportunity in singleness (1 Cor 7)When church culture gets awkward—and how to keep things low-pressureFriendship, community, and multi-generational church as a refugeTrusting God without forcing outcomes (Genesis 16)Sunburnt Souls Unhinged is here! Join Dave for a fun night of comedy, stories, raw conversations and much more.
