- Abandoning the controlling nature of purity culture by releasing and letting go of control
- The macro and micro decisions, choices, and responsibilities we get to exercise as part of our freedom and agency
- Surrendering to the power and unexpected encounters and nudges of the Holy Spirit

Singles experience a lot of weird situations in the church. From the unwanted advice about our relationship status to the unspoken pressures of singleness, it can feel like no one knows what to do with us.
