About this listen
An empowering guide to the gift of singleness that will help you leave shame in the past and let go of anxiety about the future in order to thrive today—from a thirtysomething single pastor who understands that the struggle is real.
“Raw, relatable, and encouraging.”—New York Times bestselling author Granger Smith
Ryan Wekenman has been an unmarried pastor for over a decade. He’s heard all the usual questions: “Are you dating anyone? Any wedding plans in the future?” But he knows the real question they’re asking is, “Hey, do you think you’ll be single for the rest of your life?”
Ryan believes that singleness isn’t a curse to endure. Rather, it’s a gift to enjoy, even if at times it can be hard to see it that way. But he has discovered firsthand—and from hundreds of meetings with other single people—that we are often consumed by regrets or shame from the past, together with worry or fear of the future, making it feel impossible to find peace in the present.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Single Today shares Ryan’s perceptive anecdotes, thought-provoking questions, biblical insight, and disarming humor as he invites you into his journey of learning to fully embrace his current reality.
Single Today will encourage you to
• gain practical tools to help handle the annoying and uncomfortable situations single people get placed in
• learn how to talk to family and friends about your singleness with confidence
• practice opening your heart and embracing true intimacy
• stop believing your marital status is keeping you stuck
• start living the full and abundant life available today
No amount of shame will change the past, and no amount of worry will fix the future, but with a little faith and work, you can start thriving today.

Story5 out of 5 stars 70
We all live at the mercy of our ideas, and nowhere is this more true than our ideas about God. The problem is many of our ideas about God are wrong. Not all wrong, but wrong enough to form our souls in detrimental and disheartening ways. God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself in the Bible. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way.

We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice. To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him. This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.

Jesus was never in a hurry to be anywhere other than where he was, trusting and obeying his Father. Could the same be said of us? We long to know peace, purpose, and contentment, but life's stresses, the world's discouragements, and our own striving for growth get in the way. In Relaxed, pastor and teacher Megan Fate Marshman explores what it means to set aside our addiction to trying to figure everything out and relish a slower, compelling, powerful, and relaxed life with God.

Story5 out of 5 stars 689
It turns out giving up your "right" to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do. It's a radical, provocative idea: We're not entitled to get offended or stay angry. The idea of our own "righteous anger" is a myth. It is the number one problem in our societies today and, as Dallas Willard says, Christians have not been taught out of it. But what if Christians were the most unoffendable people on the planet?

Critic reviews
“Single Today is a brave and stirring look into the deep waters of the human heart. It asks probing questions and explores underlying pressures of marital expectations from the church and society. Yes, this is a book about being single, but it is even more about being truly present and soaking up every bit of beauty that the past and the future might otherwise steal.”—Jeffrey Tacklind, author of The Winding Path of Transformation, and pastor of Little Church by the Sea, Laguna Beach
“Single Today will be an encouragement to many who need to know that they are unique, gifted, valued, and loved.”—Ben Higgins, co-founder and president of Generous International and author of Alone in Plain Sight
“I’ve been a mentor for single women for more than a decade, and I wish I had this practical resource to share with them sooner! It’s funny, warm, and encouraging, and it reads like you’re having coffee with a good friend who also happens to be one of the wisest people you know. Single Today will change the way you see your past and your future, your singleness and yourself.”—Stephanie May Wilson, author of Create a Life You Love

So Applicable!
Ryan’s story gave me so much validation in my own singleness. I love being single but have often felt like something was wrong with me for not pursuing dating or because no one seemed interested in me. I absolutely love my life and Ryan’s story and the Biblical truths he shares helped me see there is nothing wrong with me and reminded me God has me exactly where he wants me.

Authentic, meaningful, heartfelt, funny and thought provoking
I thought it was a really well written and thought provoking book. It was fun to listen to it on audible and hear the authors inflections as he read his own words. I really related to not getting bogged down in my shame from yesterday or holding grudges from the past. Knowing that Jesus can use those today is so encouraging to remember. Such a powerful story to live with a content perspective today.
