What do the Scriptures say about singleness, particularly in relation to Christian ministry? How does a biblically faithful understanding of singleness confront alternative notions inside and outside the church? What challenges do we face as we seek to apply Scripture’s teaching on this topic? Married and single panelists will consider how God equips and deploys the whole church—including single women— for his redemptive purposes, for the glory of his Son.
