Singled Out In A Couples World: Christa Smith Thought She’d Be Single Forever, ‘Till This Happened

Missionary dating: “we’re going to bring them to Jesus b/c they’re supposed to be w us” lol

This has helped me so much.
God Bless you so much

Wish it was longer but also the lady in the white blazer???! Can she please let the guest speak without speaking for her and interrupting oh my word! It would've also been nice to hear from the rest of the panel as well.

I found this when I really needed it so thank you! I'm divorced. I'm the main caretaker of my autistic son. I feel like my life is a struggle. 🙏❤

To parent adult single children, take an interest in their interests and lives without any agenda of your own. Lean on God yourself for your unfulfilled desires for them. God’s plan is higher than your plan. They can’t manufacture a spouse out of thin air. Being asked about it, even occasionally, is frustrating because we can’t make him
appear any more than you can. And don’t lament your perception of their inadequate life because they are single to them- ever. We have those moments ourselves, and need family to listen if we go there, but be a support that God really is good, and that His plan for us will work out as we live in His love. Those moments are few and far between, at least in my life, and it’s not my role to make others feel good about what they think I should be doing or have that God has not yet supplied. If you really care about that for us, pray until that prayer gets answered, and take notice in the meantime that we are actually having a great time living in full freedom to love Him and others.

I am so tired of the narrative that everyone needs to be married by 20 or 30 years old. Enjoy your life! Travel, meet people, get a hobby, share the gospel, volunteer instead of waiting on a man to come by and pick you up! Get a life! They will be singles in heaven. Everyone is not going to be married but that doesn't mean that your life has to come to a complete halt! That doesn't mean that you don't have purpose! Marriage is just one aspect/season of some people's lives! The purpose of marriage is to fulfill the call of God on your life! So start seeking your purpose in life! Start pursuing the call upon your life and stop worrying about the rest. Yes, I can speak because I am 49 no children and not married!

Christa speaks with a lot of wisdom

🙌🙌

Prov 19:22 What is desirable in a man is his kindness. And it is better to be with a poor man than a liar.

I'm 45. I'd rather be single, strive in purpose, than to be with a narcissistic man. It's harder to find a Godly man as you get older.

I’m glad you’re addressing this but it falls on deaf ears when a woman who has been married almost 60 years has ZERO idea what it’s like to be a single adult and should have ZERO comment. This is why I don’t go to church anymore.

Thank you, very affirming program. I thought I was the only one who asks Gods permission to date someone, a lot of people don’t understand that. I’ve done that ever since I badly broke someone’s heart in my early 20s and I decided I didn’t want to have to do that again. Thank you for affirming that aspect of my journey. I’ve found Covid lockdowns accelerated my journey through to contentment in singleness as I went through a period of a few years where I literally was not meeting any single men. I reached a place where I realised that I could either stay mad and upset with God about that. Or I could push into learning to be content in it and ask God what He had for me instead- best journey ever. I’m in my early 30s and I am extremely grateful that God took me on that journey when He did. X

Her story is very inspiring, I particularly love the conversation on striking the balance between contentment and contending... Thanks for having Christa on

I got married for the first time at 40. I also decided to be content & happy in Jesus if I remained single. The Lord taught me not to focus so much on my desires given by Him as to genuinely, without agenda Delight purely in Him (Psalm 37vs4)...I did this & was consumed with getting to know Him & learning about the supernatural realm of God...& amazingly God brought my husband into my life!! Be encouraged my brothers & sisters, that God is in the details of our lives & wants the best for us & has a plan for each of us! Trust Him with all your heart ❤️ Much love

Oooh I love this! And I love you Christa. Am married but I smiled through it all

Great conversation!💖Sometimes I wish God would audibly say “yes or no”(but deep inside, I now His Spirit speaks through my guts and the Bible).✨

I’m 48 years old divorced single mom. I have been single for 16 years. I believe that the Lord will bless me with a Godly spouse. Until then I will enjoy every day that God blesses me with.

Brilliant Subject !!! It is a challenge that I never expected to deal with !

Wow !!!

Cindy Murdock has such a gentle and quiet spirit. Such Wonderful Words of wisdom as usual on the show.

52.... makes me wonder if it's not just me being defective

I read Christa’s book and I loved it soo much! It spoke to me in volumes ❤❤. The lady who spoke about not being married “until” she was 33…🙄. Not to take away from her experience, but many of us are in our 40s, 50s and like Christa said, the lady in her 60s…We’ll take that 33! 😊

What a vision, Christa Smith! Tq so much for reaching out to the singled out in this couple's world. You showed us how the singled out are unique and chosen and loved and empathize and never forsaken by our loving God. But still, when the right time comes, we will sure be coupled up. I have shared your message and had forwarded your link to as much needed singled out. I am blessed to be forwarded too. Keep saying and writing✍️❤

I got married when i was 38 God bless me with the good man

Thank you for this message. However, so many today have been traumatized by deceivers who present as-"beings of light" , but were actually sent by the adversary. Many are forever changed by severe abuse , cruelty and evil deceptions that were not apparent in the beginning, actually occurred months, even years into their relationship or marriage. Many did not have supportive siblings or family support...or had a family that was kind to them, so lack of empathy ,lack of support, and mental abuse is viewed as somewhat normal in their adult relationships. It truly helps to have a kind supportive family who cares about you, and to put the Lord and His commandments first in your life, so to avoid deception.

I find that many single ladies compare their male suitors to their fathers .

I have never been married and I am 52 years old and I have a desire to get married. Thank you for sharing this story.

Love this episode so much, i hope you have Christa on Table Talk again

The Bible is clear that a woman is not to be a Pastor.
In order words she is not to have the final say over a man.
Can she teach etc etc
yes...
but if you have the title of Pastor in a church ...
well, then you have the final say over men in a lesdership position...
not surprised that Daystar promotes this.

However, I'm glad this young woman waited for the right one ...and her journey turned out well.

I'm 51. I gave my life to God at 28. I've never met anyone that could be the one God has for me. It's difficult because of my horrible past. I would love to meet a good man that I can share my life with, but I have given that to God.
The problem is that I have not found my purpose and I have pursued that since becoming a Christian, so I feel unfulfilled and lonely without my purpose or a fellowship community. Yes, I have a church that I serve at and attend, but I feel like I was made to use my past for God's purpose; not just attend church.

🥰🥰🥰

My husband has been gone 5 years and I am happy in the LORD being single. I’m waiting on GOD.

It is wonderful to share life with someone equally yoked for the glory of God.

Often believers ask God for things and receive quickly and easily and yet no answer in regards to loving spouse. Perhaps it is time to review the prayer. A pastor said a woman praying to God for the conversion of her husband so that she will have a more loving husband. Instead of praying that her husband is converted so God's will is fulfilled and God is glorified. God is not included in her prayer. He said there is even pastor who prays that his church members increase so his position is secured instead of members increasing for the glory of God. Imagine, if God is glorified by the increased of the church's members, so will his position be secured or even promoted to Senior Pastor. So please review your prayers and ensure whatever you ask God is glorified and pleased. The best way to enjoy life is when God is glorified through our daily living.

May every petition of all believers glorify and please God. Many blessings.

So thankful to have found this episode. I'm 45, never married and I've been single for close to 9 years and desire so much to be married but am ok with waiting.I bought her book a year ago after she spoke at our Women's Conference in Longview Texas. She was just back this month and I'm in such a different place and I'm ready to start the book.

❤

The door is opening now... Amazing !

So Good.❤🔥

I absolutely absolutely absolutely love@Christa & Sean Smith:) so so much. And I met them at one of my churches years ago . And I have her amazing book :) And I have been permanently divorced from my first husband 9-10 years now. And if Christa Smith is listening I just wanted to thank her so so much for all of her super Wise Godly advice. And I’m in full time ministry at my church. And I absolutely absolutely love it so so much:) And I also have some other exciting news that I would love to tell her but I can’t share here unfortunately:( Again I just wanted to thank her again for everything:)@Daystar

Wow, her testimony is a word the Lord sent for me to hear right on time, it’s rare to hear anyone talk about it in such sincere and genuine way.
When she talked about the things she was grieving about, I was brought to tears. Those are things I have been grieving about for some time now in my late 30s. I’ve been battling thoughts of perhaps not being good enough or pretty, this was such a blessing to my life. May The Lord bless Christa.

This was beyond the beyond wonderful. God bless all of you ladies and your families and everyone here and their families. ✝️❤️🎁🕊

She's very wise. I'd love to contact her.

I do believe in the one as far as God giving you an appointed spouse.

If you want a sex life then you can't have sex with God sorry!

I don't think God expects you to be content with not being married if He gives you the desire to be married.

Praying for my beautiful daughter to find the love of her life...

That's why you've been single for so long. It was because you are a senior pastor. A lot of men are intimidated.

I think it's different when you have the opportunity vs when you're not even wanted. I rather be dead sometimes
