What does it look like to put your identity in God–regardless if you are married or single? Bethany Belue joins Karen Hodge to talk about singleness and how God used waiting in her life to grow her faith.
Discussion Questions:
- In a season of waiting, it can be easy to doubt God’s love or God’s goodness. What story from the Bible is a picture of God that affirms both His goodness and His love for His people in times of waiting?
- During this season of life, on what are you waiting? Take a moment and really search your heart for those places of unfulfilled longing.
- Bethany describes how her season of waiting made her go to God and His Word to find her identity. In your longings, have you turned to God?
- Do you have friends that are in different seasons of life?
- Who is on your team? Whose team are you on?
