## Resource

Singleness in the church is often treated like a waiting room — a season to explain, fix, or rush through. But Scripture tells a different story. In this Off the Clock episode of Grace in the Grind , Cody reflects on years of waiting, well-meaning but painful assumptions, and the quiet pressure many single Christians feel — especially inside the church. Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and the life of Jesus Himself, this conversation challenges the idea that marriage is the measure of wholeness or faithfulness. This episode speaks directly to singles, widows, and anyone who has been told — explicitly or implicitly — that their life is “on hold.” It also offers a gentle but clear word to the church about how our assumptions can unintentionally wound those we’re called to love as family. No timelines. No fixing. No pressure. Just a reminder that your life matters now — because Christ is enough now. ☕ Off the Clock episodes are between-season conversations — slower, pastoral reflections meant to create space for listening, honesty, and grace.
