    Purpose in the Pause

    Have you ever waited for what seems like forever for something to change? A new job, a career shift, a move to a new country—big transitions that can feel even heavier and discouraging when more doors seem to close than open.In this episode, we hear from Allen Nansasi, a missionary at heart. When her desire to leave Uganda to further her studies seemed impossible and unclear, Allen continued to obey her call in mission. What seemed like delay became something far more purposeful.In one year, Allen had supervised the building of three churches in Uganda's largest prison. She shares how she held onto faith through uncertainty, preached through pain, and witnessed doors open in ways she never expected.

    Why your church needs a singles ministry

    When done right, a singles ministry group is a vibrant, holistic community that fosters spiritual growth, personal development, and genuine connection for all singles - divorced, widowed, single parents, or never married. But because of so many misconceptions or lack of thoughtful planning, singles ministries do not always thrive as they should and people are resistant to join. In this episode wrapping up our singles series, we’re joined by singles ministry leader Veta Euson and family life leader Danette McRae who are redefining what support looks like for single Christians. This episode reveals what it takes to empower singles to thrive in their faith and life. If you’re a church leader or a single Christian seeking community and growth, this episode is for you. It challenges misconceptions, offers practical tips, and reminds us to see singles not as a problem to fix but as an inclusive part of our community. Tune in and learn how you may transform your church’s approach to singles today.
