<p>Many singles today spend their lives regretting past mistakes, relationship failures, or worrying about what their future may (or may not) hold. However, God&#8217;s plan for every single &#8211; actually, married people, too &#8211; is to live their lives for Him, right now, in the present! My guest today, <a href="https://www.ryanwekenman.com/">Ryan Wekenman</a>, has a beautiful yet very real perspective on his own singleness, as well as the needful spiritual formation of those he ministers to.  This episode is for all Christians! We will be discussing Ryan&#8217;s new book, <a href="https://amzn.to/4a7T7nc">Single Today: Conquer Yesterday&#8217;s Regrets, Ditch Tomorrow&#8217;s Worries, and Thrive Right Where You Are</a>.</p>
