The (As Yet) Unwritten Chapter

A Closing Note to 'Single Ever After: Chapter by Chapter'

Over the past few weeks, you’ve let me share pieces of Single Ever After with you. But more than that, you’ve let me invite you into the questions and convictions that lie behind it. Thank you for that.

We’ve reflected on singleness not as an anomaly in the Christian life, but as a fully human, fully God-honouring way to live. I’ve hinted at old assumptions, suggested we need to sit afresh with complex passages, and asked you to imagine what it would look like for the church to speak of singleness with more depth, dignity, delight... and most of all, biblical faithfulness.

Now we’ve reached the end of the series… But not the end of the story.

There’s still one more chapter left—the one that hasn’t been written yet. And it’s a chapter I’d love you to co-author. Because your conversations, your church, your small group, your friendships, your contribution to this discussion matters. It matters a lot.

Whether you’ve been reading as a single Christian, a pastor, a friend, a parent, or just someone who wants to understand better—you have a part to play in how the church grows in dignifying, honouring and loving your single brothers and sisters.

Single Ever After isn’t a conclusion. It’s a beginning. I wrote it in the prayerful hope that you’ll carry it forward—in your own life of discipleship and amongst the other disciples in your life.
