[EXTENDED CUT] Calling Your Church to Do Better for Singles (feat. Henry Abuto)

Originally from Kenya and currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, Henry is a Christian man who writes on Faith, Friendships, Sexuality, Race, Jesus and a host of other topics.  He loves hosting dinner parties, running, live music, deep friendships, red wine, Beyonce, and all things Texas.

In today's episode, you'll hear Henry and I talk about: 

• holding our married friends accountable
• the vulnerability of sharing our suffering 
• and tangible ways the church can show up for singles

It's no secret that many singles feel like outsiders in the church. That's why we've created a Patreon community. For a small monthly fee, you can get access to bonus content, plus a community where your voice and presence are valued. Tiers start at just $5/month. Sign up at patreon.com/unsuitable. I can't wait to see you there!
