Singleness // Relate (Matthew 19:11-12; 1 Corinthians 7:32-35)
️ 23 August 2026. ️ Nic Cassar, Claire Landers, and Sarah McCutcheon. In this re-released episode, we continue our Relate series. Nic & Claire sat down with Sarah McCutcheon, author of a book on singleness, for an honest and warm conversation about what it really means to be single in the church. Drawing on real, anonymous comments from our own community, they name the isolation, pressure, and unintended assumptions that single people so often carry, and gently push back on the idea that the opposite of married is alone. Looking to the example of Jesus and Paul, both single, and to Jesus' teaching on eunuchs and Paul's words on undivided devotion, they explore how singleness is no less spiritual than marriage and can be a season of rich relationship, mission, and freedom. The conversation lands on three simple invitations: for the church to be a genuine spiritual family, for single people to guard their hearts and know they are already fully loved by God, and for all of us to look to Jesus, who shows us a fulfilled and deeply relational life. Whatever your relationship status, this is a hopeful, practical listen on belonging, identity and love.
