About this listen

An empowering guide to the gift of singleness that will help you leave shame in the past and let go of anxiety about the future in order to thrive today—from a thirtysomething single pastor who understands that the struggle is real.

“Raw, relatable, and encouraging.”—New York Times bestselling author Granger Smith

Ryan Wekenman has been an unmarried pastor for over a decade. He’s heard all the usual questions: “Are you dating anyone? Any wedding plans in the future?” But he knows the real question they’re asking is, “Hey, do you think you’ll be single for the rest of your life?”

Ryan believes that singleness isn’t a curse to endure. Rather, it’s a gift to enjoy, even if at times it can be hard to see it that way. But he has discovered firsthand—and from hundreds of meetings with other single people—that we are often consumed by regrets or shame from the past, together with worry or fear of the future, making it feel impossible to find peace in the present.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Single Today shares Ryan’s perceptive anecdotes, thought-provoking questions, biblical insight, and disarming humor as he invites you into his journey of learning to fully embrace his current reality.

Single Today will encourage you to

• gain practical tools to help handle the annoying and uncomfortable situations single people get placed in

• learn how to talk to family and friends about your singleness with confidence

• practice opening your heart and embracing true intimacy

• stop believing your marital status is keeping you stuck

• start living the full and abundant life available today

No amount of shame will change the past, and no amount of worry will fix the future, but with a little faith and work, you can start thriving today.

Critic reviews

Single Today is a brave and stirring look into the deep waters of the human heart. It asks probing questions and explores underlying pressures of marital expectations from the church and society. Yes, this is a book about being single, but it is even more about being truly present and soaking up every bit of beauty that the past and the future might otherwise steal.”—Jeffrey Tacklind, author of The Winding Path of Transformation, and pastor of Little Church by the Sea, Laguna Beach

Single Today will be an encouragement to many who need to know that they are unique, gifted, valued, and loved.”—Ben Higgins, co-founder and president of Generous International and author of Alone in Plain Sight

“I’ve been a mentor for single women for more than a decade, and I wish I had this practical resource to share with them sooner! It’s funny, warm, and encouraging, and it reads like you’re having coffee with a good friend who also happens to be one of the wisest people you know. Single Today will change the way you see your past and your future, your singleness and yourself.”—Stephanie May Wilson, author of Create a Life You Love

So Applicable!

Ryan’s story gave me so much validation in my own singleness. I love being single but have often felt like something was wrong with me for not pursuing dating or because no one seemed interested in me. I absolutely love my life and Ryan’s story and the Biblical truths he shares helped me see there is nothing wrong with me and reminded me God has me exactly where he wants me.

Authentic, meaningful, heartfelt, funny and thought provoking

I thought it was a really well written and thought provoking book. It was fun to listen to it on audible and hear the authors inflections as he read his own words. I really related to not getting bogged down in my shame from yesterday or holding grudges from the past. Knowing that Jesus can use those today is so encouraging to remember. Such a powerful story to live with a content perspective today.
