Are you currently living single? Get ready as we uncover the truth about God's gift of singlehood and how to embrace it in your love relationships.

In Episode 10: Embracing the Gift of Singlehood, we sit down with Pastor Jacqui Hill-Goudeau, author, administrator, exceptional Bible teacher, and longtime friend. Jacqui breaks down common myths about being single, answers those burning questions, and shares how to live a successfully single, healthy, and whole life God's way.

We discuss the challenges of living single in the 21st century, share interesting statistics, and unpack the truth about the two singlehood statuses — whether you are single while waiting (you desire a spouse) or single while walking (you do not have a desire for a spouse).

Additional Content & Notes:

3 Levels of H.O.T. Communication:
Every relationship has a “journey” to take and “purpose” to fulfill, and communication is the key to getting it there.

• Level I – Basic conversation and understanding of each other that lead you to the altar (“I Do”)
• Level II – Specific conversations that keep you connected (“I Love You”)
• Level III – Intimate conversations that keep you committed to each other (“I Am With You Through It All”)

H.O.T. Conversation Takes:

• Vulnerability
• Trust
• Forgiveness
• Patience
• Humility

Overcoming Through H.O.T. Conversations:

1. Practice— Start with something small that you can be honest, open, and transparent about.
2. Recognize Fear's Presence— Fear of rejection, abandonment, or loss; is a tactic of the enemy
3. Pray & Acknowledge God— Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide your tongue, providing a strategy for communicating wisely.
4. Choose a Time— Give a heads-up to schedule an appropriate time.
5. Choose a Place— Set an environment conducive to having hard conversations.

Bible Truth:

• Zechariah 8, Verses 16-17 - "But this is what you are to do: Speak the truth in love to each other. Render true and sound judgments that lead to peace in your gates. Don’t plot evil against each other, and stop your love of telling lies that you swear are the truth. I hate all these things, declares the Lord.”

Live Out Your Love Letter Challenge:

• Practice being “vulnerable” with your loved ones!

FAITH is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen! But what happens when the dynamic of a love relationship is added? Episode 8 explores “F”— Faith and what it looks like when your relationship of two becomes three, with Jesus at the center!

Join Jason & Ros as we discuss the firm foundation of faith in your love relationships. BOTTOM LINE: Faith is what love stands on when life gets hard, truth is tested, and unity is challenged.

Watch & Explore with us in conversation about:

• What faith really means in relationships
• Why it’s essential to lasting love
• How faith is tested — individually and collectively
• What happens when couples agree (or disagree) on truth
• How to establish, navigate, and maintain faith through every season

Faith has the power to strengthen relationships — or strain them — depending on what it’s built on. In this episode, we encourage you to examine your foundation, grow spiritually together, and allow faith to deepen your love for God and for one another.

THE FIVE (5) C'S OF FAITH:
As you’ve committed to loving each other, it's vital to establish if faith will be a part of your relationship. If so, what will it look like for you as a couple? The 5 C’s of Faith provide a guideline to establishing faith.

1. CONNECT: Work to ensure that your faith foundation aligns with each other (Crucial)
2. COMMUNICATE: Share your history with faith in God and Jesus, “religious” experiences. What is your basis of “truth?”
3. CREATE: Work together to build your faith foundation as a couple. Below are a few examples.
   1. Study together
   2. Pray together
   3. Worship together
   4. Serve in ministry together
4. CONTINUE: Maintain your faith foundation, nurture it as you continue to grow together.
   1. Individual Faith, considering and supporting each other.
5. CORRECT: Learn to make adjustments as you both grow in faith and/or when challenges come.

WAYS TO OVERCOME RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGES THROUGH FAITH

1. SALVATION - Receive it (single or couple)
2. FIRM FOUNDATION - Let God’s Word (the Bible) be the basis of:
   1. Truth
   2. Your guiding light for life
   3. The final authority in your life and every love relationship
3. PRAYER – Pray together without ceasing
   1. Not out of religious ritual, but naturally through your LOVE relationship with God and each other.
   2. Pray in faith through every trial and triumph
4. WORSHIP & SERVICE - Will help continue to build and strengthen your faith in God
5. STAND - When the tests and rough challenges come to try you, stand firm together and face it head-on.
   1. God is with you in it, through it, and out of it!
   2. Standing in faith will not always be about the challenge, sometimes it’s for prayer petitions, guidance, and new open doors.
   3. CONVICTION (awareness of wrong behavior) vs. CONDEMNATION (self-judgement)
      1. Conviction of the Holy Spirit
      2. Acknowledging sin
      3. Heartfelt repentance
      4. Moving forward in grace

• Jude 1, Verses 20-21 "But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love."
