Surviving Christianity Unmarried with Karissa Sovdi

Hope Johnson

Singleness got you down? If you're a single Christian struggling to survive in a world that idolizes marriage and stigmatizes singleness, this conversation with author Karissa Sovdi is a must-listen! Karissa and I chat about:

  • Lies we've believed about singleness
  • Why to stop obsessing over why you're single
  • How to tell if marriage is becoming an idol
  • Grieving singleness while pursuing the life God has given you
  • The best parts of being single
  • Why the American dream and the gospel are not one and the same

Karissa Sovdi is a writer, speaker, and clinical counselor. As a never-married Christian single who grew up in church, she speaks from her sometimes heartbreaking, often humorous, and frequently bumbling journey to a thirty-something's radical self-acceptance and revelation of God's love. Karissa lives plays, and works on Canada's west coast, where she specialized in coaching organizational leaders to build healthy workplaces.
