Summary
Episode Description: What if your season of singleness isn't something to fix, but something to unleash? In this powerful conversation, Georgette sits down with USA Today bestselling author Bob Wheatley to explore his journey from professional baseball player to author and speaker who's helping single Christians find purpose and strength in their current season. Bob shares his deeply personal story of surrender—when his baseball dreams, relationship, and business all ended in the summer of 2017, leaving him broken but open to God's plan. That moment of surrender led him to Nashville and eventually to writing two bestselling books that challenge everything the church typically says about singleness. Drawing from his research with over 80 single Christian men and the Apostle Paul's radical words in 1 Corinthians 7, Bob reveals what he calls "The Pauline Advantage"—the unique spiritual benefits of being single that often go unrecognized. Using the powerful metaphor of two horses (one towing weight, the other racing), he explains why God might have you in a sprint season right now where being "yoked" to someone else would actually slow you down. This conversation is for anyone who's single and wondering when their prayers will be answered, for those who've made an idol out of marriage, and for everyone who wants to understand how to truly crush it in whatever season God has them in right now.
