How can singles thrive in church when married with children is the default relationship status? Singleness is commonly misunderstood from a biblical perspective, if it is even talked about at all. Singleness is more than just a waiting room for marriage or the perfect opportunity to focus more on service. In Single Together: Stewarding Singleness in the Family of God, Lisa LaGeorge explores scripture to offer insights and tools for stewarding singleness with joy, confidence, and resilience.
Single Together is an invitation to discover the richness and purpose of singleness within the family of God. Drawing on biblical wisdom, personal experience, and decades of ministry experience, LaGeorge reframes singleness—not as a problem to be solved, but as a rich opportunity to honor the Lord and show the world His kindness. Through honest storytelling and gospel-centered teaching, this book explores how singles can steward their lives, relationships, resources, and unique experiences with intentionality and eternal hope.
Single Together was written for both men and women and addresses the unique challenges and opportunities for stewardship at every stage and age of singleness (never married, widowed, divorced, and single parents). It acknowledges the trials and blessings of singleness while addressing real questions about identity, sexuality, sorrow, unmet expectations, and belonging. Each chapter unpacks the various aspects of faithful stewardship: recognizing God’s redemption, investing in relationships, thriving in resilience, and living with an eternal perspective.
As LaGeorge points out, every person starts out single, many married people find themselves single again at some point, and some people are single for a lifetime. Regardless of the category the reader fits into, the author offers a refreshing perspective on identity, purpose, and community while at the same time providing the local church actionable insights on how they can support and include singles in their congregation, encouraging them to serve and grow in their faith, and recognizing them as vital members of the body of Christ. She also shares recommendations for church leaders and families to better encompass and learn from singles in every stage of life. Each chapter closes with questions not only for personal and group reflection, but for pastor and church consideration.
