When we launched SingleRoots, we quickly learned that finding other Christians who were single and blogging could be like searching for a needle in a haystack. We just wanted to find bloggers who were in a similar life stage as us. Our people, if you will.

Some folks will find it shocking, but not every Christian who is single and a blogger writes about dating and loneliness. Thank goodness.

Since we’ve started collecting a list of blogs, we’ve found so many great sites on everything from fashion to theology to daily living to grief. We’ve been encouraged, challenged, and strengthened by so many of them, and we wanted to create a resource for single Christian bloggers.

Maybe you didn’t know the 3 other bloggers in your town or the 10 in your state. Aren’t you curious? Or are we the only inquisitive ones in the blogosphere? Hopefully, as you continue to tell us who and where you are, we’ll continue to build this list.

Maybe you’re not a blogger, but you want a comprehensive location to find other like-minded Believers. This list is for you, too! [Read more...]

So you don't like the singles ministry?

Do you remember ever reading about a singles group in the Bible?

Did Jesus only hang with the single disciples? Um, no.

Were Paul and his entourage exclusively single? No, married people were included.

Did some of the prophets get frustrated because they couldn’t find a church with an active, age-graded singles ministry? No, they had bigger fish to fry such as golden calves, Israel’s disobedience, and the brutality of the Babylonians, just to name a few. [Read more...]

Chances are, if you’re single, you’ve struggled with several, if not all, of these questions. We have too. They’re not simple questions with one-paragraph answers. They’re the kind of questions that are recurring and nag against our contentment. Some keep us company in the dark nights when our minds begin to wander down the roads of “what if,” “what could’ve been,” and “why me.” [Read more...]

I hit rock bottom like an anchor hoisted into the water...

Last night, I was given a behind-the-scenes look into my life.

Just over a year ago, I had reached my rock bottom. Not only was I at the lowest point of my existence, I had gotten there as if I were an anchor hoisted into the water. I plummeted straight down until I hit the rocky surface. After a lifetime of struggling with my weight, I had finally worked off close to 100 pounds only for the weight to come back with a vengeance the instant life got difficult.

When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, I comforted myself the only way I knew how. It wasn’t long before I was sobbing on my bathroom floor in a Grey’s Anatomy-inspired meltdown after weighing myself and seeing I had, in fact, gained all of the weight back in only a matter of months.   [Read more...]

Yes, I am a very classy guy.

If you’re reading this, chances are you are not married.

Make a mental note right now: Invite me to your wedding.

If necessary, provide airfare and accommodations. I am not good at a lot of things but going to weddings and making them fun is one of the blessings our great God has bestowed upon me. I will eat your food. I will dance with your women. I will bust so many moves I’ll have your grandma breaking a sweat from the old folks table in the back.

I just love everything about a good wedding reception. Frankly, in the past, I looked at the actual ceremony as paying my dues so that I can qualify to party with your friends and family for a few hours afterwards. I like the ceremony to be short, sweet, and to the point. Essentially, “Let’s just get this over with” because I’ve got a cheese and meat tray to attend to.

I know what you’re thinking and yes, I am a very classy guy. [Read more...]
