"Why are you single?"

"Just because."

However we answer that question, what's more important than why we are single is how we live as singles. Regardless of our relationship status, all of us are called to a life of vital discipleship. And walking with God can reshape singleness into a pilgrimage of transformation.

Pilgrim and podcaster Bridget Gee shares her singular journey of vibrant life in the kingdom of God. Her travels have become a personal pilgrimage of walking with God and others, experiencing spiritual formation in the ups and downs of literal mountains and valleys. She explores her longings and hopes in vulnerable narratives, navigating issues of identity, community, mental health, dating, sexuality, and more.

Gee invites us into a purposeful story of following Jesus in life not as we think it might be, but as it really is. The pilgrim journey takes us places we did not expect to become people we did not know we could be.

I don’t want to be too harsh with this book, as the author fully admits it’s a story about her story, not a story about singleness per se. I feel that’s where some of my tension is coming from, perhaps cause I wanted it to be a story wrestling with some of the issues of singleness, or an autobiography… but the in between space wasn’t clearly defined and left me a little discombobulated as a reader cause I wasn’t sure what type of literature I was reading (story, autobiography, political, etc).

I’d say the first and last chapter of this book are worth the price of admission! The stuff in between didn’t add much for me…. But I did greatly appreciate the bookend reminder that singleness just is. It’s not a holding pattern for something else or a lesser version of human flourishing. I will also say I think the invitation to explore our sexual ethic as Christians is a really good topic as well, though that chapter wasn’t necessarily written as well as some of the others, or felt a bit out of place in the “is this a biography or is this self help” confusion.

All in all, I’d say this book is a helpful resource in the conversation about closeness with Christ, accepting the life He’s calling you to regardless of how well it matches your expectations, and naming your own biases when it comes to singles as “less than” marrieds in life as well as in ministry.

First and last chapter worth listening to
