    Part 3 - Jesus is the Prize

    24/1/2026 | 6 mins.
    Do you have faith for the season you’re in?

    In this episode, we explore what it means to carry faith for singleness, not as a consolation prize, but as a powerful, God-given calling. Drawing on insights from Sam Allberry and Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 7:32, we discover how singleness can prophetically point to the all-sufficiency of Christ.

    While marriage points forward to the ultimate wedding—Christ and His Church—singleness boldly declares something just as beautiful: Jesus is enough. A single life, lived in joy and devotion, becomes a visible testimony that Christ Himself is the prize, the reward, and the fulfilment of every longing.

    This episode invites single listeners to sit with Jesus and receive fresh faith for their season—to recognise the freedom, focus, and privilege singleness can hold. As we learn to enjoy God deeply where we are, our lives begin to proclaim a powerful truth to the world: Christ is sufficient, and He is worth everything.

    Part 2 - Breaking the Shame of Singleness

    17/1/2026 | 5 mins.
    Why does singleness so often feel like a failure rather than a gift?

    Building on the foundation that marriage and singleness are equal gifts from God, this episode confronts the hidden shame many single people carry. We explore how life stages are often viewed as a hierarchy—with singleness at the bottom—and gently replace that lie with God’s truth: our seasons are linear, not ranked, and every stage holds equal value in His eyes. 

    This conversation brings compassion, healing, and freedom to anyone who has felt “less than” because of their relationship status. As we allow God to reshape how we see singleness, shame begins to lose its power. In turn, we are invited into freedom, dignity, and peace—learning to receive the season we’re in as a genuine gift from a loving Father.

    Part 1 - Gift of Singleness?

    11/1/2026 | 5 mins.
    What is the gift of singleness and how do you know if you have it?

    In this episode, Wendy rethinks what the Bible really means by the gift of singleness. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7:6–7, she explores how both marriage and singleness are presented in Scripture as equal gifts from God—each given for a time and purpose.

    This session challenges common assumptions, reframes the question “Do you have the gift of singleness?”, and offers a liberating perspective for anyone navigating single life in the church.

    Whether you are single, married, or leading within the church, this conversation invites you to see singleness through God’s perspective, not cultural pressure—opening the door to freedom, peace, and deeper trust in His design.

    Your kingdom Come: Braving the Wilderness

    30/11/2025 | 29 mins.
    Have you ever found yourself in a wilderness season — feeling stripped back, hidden, or unsure where God is?

    In this episode, we explore how wilderness seasons aren’t punishment but preparation. Through Jesus, Moses, and Elijah’s stories, we’ll see how the wilderness becomes a place of encounter, transformation, and deeper dependence.

    - Why God sometimes leads us into the wilderness.
    - How hidden seasons shape our identity and dependence on Him.
    - The transforming power of encounter in hard places.
    - Practical ways to respond to wilderness seasons with faith and surrender.

    Be encouraged — the wilderness isn’t wasted. God’s forming you, deepening your intimacy with Him, and preparing you to carry His presence and power wherever you go.

    Key Scriptures:
    Acts 10:37-38 - Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power
    Luke 4:1 and 14 - Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness and then ministered in the power of the Spirit
    Song of Songs 8:5 - The lover is coming out of the wilderness leaning on her Beloved

    Bonus - Processing Pain to get to the Promise

    04/11/2025 | 44 mins.
    This is my most-listened-to message, recorded back in 2016—just a week after a wonderful lady in our church, Zoe Joy, passed away suddenly from cancer.
    In it, I talk honestly about what it means to process pain in the presence of God and how to hold onto faith when life doesn’t make sense. It’s an invitation to walk with Him through the mystery, rather than around it.
    We explore how to:
    Be gut-level honest with God, bringing Him our raw emotion and unanswered questions.

    Thank and praise Him through the pain, even when our hearts are breaking.

    Lay down our right to understand and choose trust instead.

    I share from personal experience about navigating disappointment without losing hope, and how God can use seasons of sorrow to lead us into deeper intimacy and ultimately into His promises.
    If you’ve ever faced moments that challenge your view of God’s goodness, this message will help you find a way to stay anchored in love, even in the storm.
    (The ministry time is included in case you want to invite God to meet with you while I lead through the process)
