lol the one Christian woman I found worthy only lasted a couple of dates, probably because she seen I wasn’t ready after being recently divorced and haven’t yet got my life in order. God has shown me I need to focus on him as 1st priority, until then I’ll be single.
You’re gonna be single for the rest of your life cause God doesn’t care about you or me or anyone. The only thing he’s interested in is His own glory, and He’ll throw almost His entire creation into eternal conscious torment just to make Himself look good.
@@Pomiferous Nah, just a community college blue collar dude who’s been disappointed by God long enough to know He doesn’t answer prayer and He doesn’t make promises, much less keep them.
@BruceJC75 I don't think you would be commenting on a Christian podcast if you weren't still looking. Matthew 6:35. Read the word and let it change you. Not the other way around. Praying for you brother
You’re dead on the nail with the drinking thing, I have gone through a two and half year period of elongated singleness and my drinking has gotten terrible, I’m praying God will give me the balls to make some changes cause I’m lost.
Stay strong brother. Every days a battle, we gotta wake up ready to fight. As it was passed to me by a senior brother of my church who beat addiction many moons ago. Read Roman 6,7 & 8 Praying for you.
Marriage ain’t what it used to be in your day Pastor Mark. Thank God for your marriage. People today don’t have the back bone to stick it to the end of the marriage. The women have been incentivised to divorce the men at the slightest inconvenience. This applies to the Christian women too. They sing religion but when it suits them they drag in daddy government into it. In terms Of the statistics anyone. can fine a stat to back their opinions. The Bible does not condemn men who refuse to get married. Thank you Lord for the institution of marriage. Thank you Lord for the wisdom to be remain steadfast with or without marriage God bless men long live men long live MGTOW.
Very true. But if you're living a single life outside the boundaries God created then you might have a problem. Just like a fire, once it's outside the fireplace its very destructive.
Mgtow, red pill, manosphere. Stay single gents. For now is the time where we should be focused on God and not women. Paul Elam has been saved for those who know that name.
I think the bigger question here is: What makes a true woman or man of God? And are we willing to pursue everything God has for us? Despite the pain, despite the past. Are we still willing to hold onto His promises?
This is the only thing I might disagree with Driscoll on so far. But I’m glad he made this vid and wrote this book to share his opinion and I’m glad that his methodology for family life works for him. I do indeed want a family one day but I don’t think that should be a measure of how great a man is. One thing I know is that Jesus doesn’t look at how many kids I have or if I’m married. He looks at my heart ❤:)
Next do a video on where you find single actual "Christian's". Because online dating has lots of status Christians that attended church once as a kid. Not very many active Christians that are pursuing their faith.
I don’t want to be single I didn’t want to be divorced but now learning from my mistake of picking the wrong partner. I am now scared of men’s intentions. Finding the right partner to build life with is so extremely important for the path that you will be lead on in this life -if you chose wrong yes self destruction happens. I picked the wrong man -my marriage ended in divorce because nothing was sacred to him -as I was being the help meet wife and he didn’t want that. I didn’t take him for anything during our divorce as most men think women do. I only wanted to love him and be loved back. Unfortunately we live in a world full of people who live by the worlds standards and not Gods. And love is not priority. But love is the greatest of all. God bless
My understanding is- Married men do not live longer.... it just seems longer. Love God, serve him, stay happy/single. do not believe me? just take a look for yourselves out there! talk to men who have been taken advantage of/divorced. not being allowed to see your own kids while she has one lover at home after another!! in todays marriage- women hold all the cards ( and your testicles). it's not funny, it is serious! men young and old- be smart, be wise. todays marriage is nothing as The Lord wanted and intended it to me. you can thank the pill and the united states government for giving woman all the advantages of getting divorced. check the facts, talk to men who have been through it. I am glad I have not been through it and will not.
Marriage is for some but not for all good sir, i love and respect you as a brother of christ but for some it is better to stay single. 1 Corinthians 7 : 6 Now as a concession, not a command, I say this.[a] 7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. 8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. 9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
True, but who is doing the speaking in that passage? It isn't Christ. If singleness is the path God has chosen for you then that is correct. If we are usurping His authority over our own lives and choosing it for ourselves because we're fearful or don't trust or desire the process of refining that comes with marriage..then you are in the wrong and need to humble yourself before your Maker. When we make Him Lord of our lives, it means we don't get to call the shots. GOD said it's not good for man to be alone.
@@firstlast8258it was not prophesied that the Messiah (Christ) would marry or have children..so of course He didn't. He was here to fufill His Father's purpose, and that should be the goal of all believers.
@amomto4 it does not matter who is speaking here, it is pual though. I say it doesn't matter because either way ALL scripture is God Breathen. 2 timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God[b] may be complete, equipped for every good work. Some people are better married and others are better single.
I hope you read your comments!!! I've listened to you off and on I enjoy your truth!! I am a Christian now and a Christian for life Jesus Christ is my life and savior!!! I was married for over 20 years to a man I loved and adored I took my vows very seriously he was a very strong Christian man from a very strong Christian upbringing. I thought I would be married forever!!! Unfortunately all the things he said he would never do after being in law enforcement for over 20 years he did every single one of them!!! He cheated on me with a friend left me divorced me took my house became an alcoholic, broke my children's hearts broke my heart everyone in my family. That was 10 years ago I'm still single I will be single until I die!!! Marriage is a wonderful Institution two people uphold their vows no matter what!! I would have stayed I would have worked through our problems he chose other!!! Staying single is what I'm going to do for the duration I will never marry again!!! I have three grandchildren they are my life!!! ❤❤❤❤😍
Sounds like YOU have a plan, what about God's plan for your life? Your ex clearly wasn't down for giving God the lead in his life, look at the hardship and heartbreak that followed. It's OK to be single, IF that's what God has called you to do. I speak from a similar experience and I took the approach of "I'm content to be alone if that's what you want for me Lord" ...I'm so grateful I didn't determine to do that and deny Him control. Here I am 23 years later, married 21 years to a wonderful man, few things make him as happy as seeing a smile on my face. We are living a blessed life. I am so grateful. You may not feel like you need anyone, but God may have someone out there that needs you! Whatever the case may be, hoping for you blessing sister 🙏🏼 ❤️
@@amomto4 you know it never ceases to amaze me!!! I'm nearly 55 years old and have learned so much in the last 20 years especially about Christians and Christianity. And as much as I love the Lord my personal Walk With Jesus is my personal Walk With Jesus. There was a time during my walk when I thought I was Superior and I knew the answers for everybody and never hesitated to share everything I thought I knew. Because don't you know I think it was coming from a good place and I thought it was my personal driven Thoughts From God to share what I thought. And as I grew up in matured I realized that all I did was push a lot of people away and understood why people didn't like Christians!! Mostly because they think they know it all and they're always right but they have such good intentions!! So with your I'm sure what you think is good intentions using your" capital letters" at me I have learned not to be offended by such people anymore mostly because I have matured and I have grown up!!! So instead of spewing the first thoughts that come to my mind I stopped I process and I think literally what would Jesus do!!! And how we win people over with love patience intolerance not arrogance an ego!!! This has been one of the best lessons of my life!! And I've learned that sometimes the best words are the ones left unsaid!
I LOVED this episode and the new style of podcast! Listening to pastor's Mark and Grace makes me feel like I finally have parents and teaching me how to live in Jesus's Way. Please, please talk more about singles, dating, etc. I need more insight on how to respect one's self, etc. In the dating world. Thank you guys love the message you bring.

Well i dont WANT to be single. But i am just making enough to go by and i cant find a good christian women who is interesting and i terested. Not even ugly. So...unless God do something major in my life....
Im single was married 18 yrs. Been divorced 10 yrs. And still single im 58 now. Men my age carry so much baggage with them at our age. They want just sex and no relationship. So they can be very pushy. Women my age our very bedroom oriented only. Which ruins it for us women who want a godly marriage with a man. So with that being said. Women dont always come out on top of a divorce. And we have to pay for the hurt your exwife caused you. Im sure that goes for the guys too. Forgiveness is key here and looking to god for guidance. Ask god to soften your heart to see clearly.
@@newislandrestore7305 Actually the Apostle Paul said that due to the end times intensity.Staying single was easier.With marriage guaranteeing you would have more entanglements with the worlds demands.
@@Pomiferous if you’re referring to 1 Corinthian I think Paul was saying to stay single only if you were able to have incredible self control over your desires.
I'm single 6 years post divorce ( too long to tell story here). I have 1 very bright, independent, married adult son and 4 grandchildren. At 65 I've been actively dating Christian women ONLY. I'm writing my book. It's been very, very eye opening. I was married in 1986 and so this is a strange new dating world. Apparently, I am very much ill-equipped for todays dating. Friends are the key! I made tons of lady friends. Apparently, when I say " sex should wait until wedding night" is NOT a popular theme. No, I have not been perfect- only saved. Btw, i don't drink, smoke, drugs. I pray for a last wife. I have been looking at foreign-born ladies now. God bless🙏
Loved this! I’ve been divorced for several years and have been content and felt like I don’t ever want to get married again but you gave me some positive vibes about marriage
I've seen a lot of so called Christian women throw Jesus under the bus when it didn't suit them especially for another man. Then come back and praise the Lord they found the man God meant for them to have only to get another divorce 3 or 4 years later.
Oh yeah. After we separated, my ex wife immediately started dating a married man and when they became Facebook official, she posted that they were brought together by God. They broke up 2 months later when he reconciled with his wife. I see divorced women all the time talking about how they are waiting for God to send them a husband. I have to stop myself from saying "what about the one He already sent you who you divorced"
@@mlwilson2956 "...I have to stop myself from saying "what about the one He already sent you who you divorced"..." Don't stop yourself. Be Jesus' advocate! Ephesians 5:22-33 MEV Wives, be submissive to your own husbands as unto the Lord.
I've been put through the ringer by marriage. Divorced twice against my will despite being faithful to marriage vows, bankrupted, custody battles, slandered, etc. And I'd do it all again for my kids. Making yourself a genetic dead end and missing out on the possibility of life long marriage out of fear of divorce is a bad idea. Be very demanding about who you marry (that was my mistake) and give it your best shot. I played the game and lost and I'd still do it again
and remember to prenup the everliving fuck out of any woman you intend to put a ring on! The nice thing about a harsh prenup is that if it pisses her off and she refuses to sign, cancel the whole thing and be thankful that you just saved yourself a ton of time, money and heartache!
@rovgaming1480 that's not God's way. God's already established the criteria for a long, healthy, successful marriage and it doesn't start with a threat.
Lol. Not Gods way?? His way is for men to be fools? You understand once you get married the state is a third party and the woman has all the authority in this marriage. And your children become wards of the state? It’s not your fault that you can’t see, as all esp in amerika are groomed from the time they are born and the truth is kept from them. The truth is scary
@@amomto4 Well that's all great, and easy to say, but sadly it doesn't work that way in practice. The number of "true" Christian women in the world who are devoted to putting God's will above and before their own "feelings" are probably less than one half of one percent of the world Christian population of women. I agree, in a perfect world, God's way is better, but this isn't a perfect world. This is a fallen world, established in sin from the fall of man in the garden and ruled by the enemy as lord of the earth. God's way is truth, but God gave us FREE WILL and thus the choice not to follow His way, which is what most people chose. Therefore, for most people, prenup!
Marriage is a surefire way to self-destruction and everything you worked hard for as a man. A woman can just decide to "get bored" one day and with a snap of her fingers she suddenly owns over half of what used to be yours, including your home, car, kids, assets, cash... you get the idea. Until the legal system changes (stops blindly favoring women), and until woman are raised with humility and loyalty in their hearts, marriage is a completely losing proposition!
as a brother in Christ I love you pastor D, but, until you see what is going on in the dating world.. count your blessings. I had no desire to date, but my wife passed and a year later, I can't find real Christian women that want a traditional marriage. Most are too old to have children and to be honest, if a woman cannot give me a child, it is better to serve God as a single/widower man.
Ive been married more than once. They claimed Christianity. I was used ...when my money ran out , life became horrible until i left. After 23 years of no husband..... I am happy and very single. Not looking
I bet the book is fantastic. The comments so far, are just more proof to me that this world needs God desperately. Much respect for the both of you. You're doing the right thing, guiding people in the right direction. 🙏🏻
You have been married for a long time, so I don't really think you can express how life would be like as a single person. Life would be different, but you'd still be the same people.
I need a wife because I burn with passion but I’ve never even dated before and I’m lost in life. 1 Corinthians 7:8-9. I need prayer for God to get me on the right track and for God to swiftly bring me my godly virgin wife. God bless! :)
I honestly wonder if I would’ve been better off staying single & never getting married. Married for 23 years to my first wife. After 17 years menopause kicked in & she became very unhappy. Decided she’d be happier not married to me. Said she could do better… I’m just a dumb blue collar worker machinist. Remarried 3 years later, and now 13 years later I’ve raised my second family & I have a 17 year old step son that doesn’t respect me, I truly believe he hates me because I have rules & chores. While his biological alcoholic father lets him do whatever he wants… unlimited video gaming. Should have stayed single!
No your stepson will come around Don't push it let God do it let go let God just pray for your stepson I have the same problem with my son he researches everything everything He's always seeking truth doesn't believe just believing in God and receiving what God has to give he needs evidence evidence is all around him but he does not see that pray for your stepson as I pray for my son
@@Isaiah-53-777 Thanks 🙏 I make observations. Fat people make bad marathon runners. This kid has a first love… it’s his video game. Nothing else in this world matters to him other than entertaining himself. I’ve relented… nothing more I can say or do. He’s definitely in God’s hands… and I’m done wasting my time & energy on a toxic relationship.
Your personal freedom isn't worth one ounce of a person's loneliness. I am sorry I raised my hand in a dream when the Lord Jesus called to me and asked the question, Who will go for me? My right to make a conscious choice was stolen from me because he wanted a witness against a nation that was guilty of Genocide.
Marriage is a wonderful gift from God, absolutely. However, so is singleness. Not everyone will get married, and I doubt every single person from biblical times were married. A fruitless marriage is not worth it, and we need to stop pushing marriage as superior status over singleness because it then becomes an idol for some people. Many great people of God are not married. Bit disappointed with how your teaching comes across.
Singleness is NOT a gift. It's unscriptural to claim this. God only instructed 1 person in the Bible to remain unmarried, Prophet Jeremiah. John, Jesus and Paul chose it as they had a mission to complete. That's not the case for millions of single Christians. It's a default position. Sadly, in the UK, a lot of "Christians" are unmarriageable, i.e., they lack certain prerequisites to recommend themselves as a spouse. Due to cultural issues, they're overly reserved, on top of that overly conservative, and the new generation lacks interpersonal and communication skills. Perpetual singleness combined with celibacy is psychologically harmful. There's no research on this yet because this is probably the first time in mankind history when millions of adults have never been married.
lol the one Christian woman I found worthy only lasted a couple of dates, probably because she seen I wasn’t ready after being recently divorced and haven’t yet got my life in order. God has shown me I need to focus on him as 1st priority, until then I’ll be single.
You’re gonna be single for the rest of your life cause God doesn’t care about you or me or anyone. The only thing he’s interested in is His own glory, and He’ll throw almost His entire creation into eternal conscious torment just to make Himself look good.

That is the largest watch I have ever seen. Is that a sextant? You could navigate a sea-bearing vessel with that thing.
Loved this! I’ve been divorced for several years and have been content and felt like I don’t ever want to get married again but you gave me some positive vibes about marriage
I've seen a lot of so called Christian women throw Jesus under the bus when it didn't suit them especially for another man. Then come back and praise the Lord they found the man God meant for them to have only to get another divorce 3 or 4 years later.
Oh yeah. After we separated, my ex wife immediately started dating a married man and when they became Facebook official, she posted that they were brought together by God. They broke up 2 months later when he reconciled with his wife.
I see divorced women all the time talking about how they are waiting for God to send them a husband. I have to stop myself from saying "what about the one He already sent you who you divorced"
I wonder what the statistics are for who gets thrown under the bus by their spouses most often.Male or female
@@mlwilson2956 "...I have to stop myself from saying "what about the one He already sent you who you divorced"..." Don't stop yourself. Be Jesus' advocate!
Ephesians 5:22-33 MEV Wives, be submissive to your own husbands as unto the Lord.
@@Pomiferous I was mostly talking about people using Jesus only when it suited them. In the comment I said they throw Jesus under the bus.
I've been put through the ringer by marriage. Divorced twice against my will despite being faithful to marriage vows, bankrupted, custody battles, slandered, etc. And I'd do it all again for my kids. Making yourself a genetic dead end and missing out on the possibility of life long marriage out of fear of divorce is a bad idea. Be very demanding about who you marry (that was my mistake) and give it your best shot. I played the game and lost and I'd still do it again
and remember to prenup the everliving fuck out of any woman you intend to put a ring on! The nice thing about a harsh prenup is that if it pisses her off and she refuses to sign, cancel the whole thing and be thankful that you just saved yourself a ton of time, money and heartache!
@@mlwilson2956 you are brave💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼i guess we are different. As for myself, once something traumatize me I don t want to go back there
@rovgaming1480 that's not God's way. God's already established the criteria for a long, healthy, successful marriage and it doesn't start with a threat.
Lol. Not Gods way?? His way is for men to be fools?
You understand once you get married the state is a third party and the woman has all the authority in this marriage. And your children become wards of the state?
It’s not your fault that you can’t see, as all esp in amerika are groomed from the time they are born and the truth is kept from them.
The truth is scary
@@amomto4 Well that's all great, and easy to say, but sadly it doesn't work that way in practice.
The number of "true" Christian women in the world who are devoted to putting God's will above and before their own "feelings" are probably less than one half of one percent of the world Christian population of women.
I agree, in a perfect world, God's way is better, but this isn't a perfect world. This is a fallen world, established in sin from the fall of man in the garden and ruled by the enemy as lord of the earth.
God's way is truth, but God gave us FREE WILL and thus the choice not to follow His way, which is what most people chose. Therefore, for most people, prenup!
Marriage is a surefire way to self-destruction and everything you worked hard for as a man.
A woman can just decide to "get bored" one day and with a snap of her fingers she suddenly owns over half of what used to be yours, including your home, car, kids, assets, cash... you get the idea.
Until the legal system changes (stops blindly favoring women), and until woman are raised with humility and loyalty in their hearts, marriage is a completely losing proposition!
As a woman of the old ways, I say your comment is spot on !
Mgtow, Paul Elam.
Nice Library.😊
as a brother in Christ I love you pastor D, but, until you see what is going on in the dating world.. count your blessings. I had no desire to date, but my wife passed and a year later, I can't find real Christian women that want a traditional marriage. Most are too old to have children and to be honest, if a woman cannot give me a child, it is better to serve God as a single/widower man.
LOL !!! Love your wife's answer at around 6:00m in :) SO TRUE.
Awesome talk.. thank you.
He's a blessed man to have such a happy wife.
Dear Father God, please send me a real men 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙌🏻♥️ in Jesus name 🙏🏻
Mentally yes, financially no.
But if you’re a man, then: mentally no, financially yes
Actually, if done right people who are married are statistically better off financially.
A single income household is a pipedream in 2024.
Great conversation, and thanks for not including demons and bizarre AI images in the video thumbnail.
Ive been married more than once. They claimed Christianity. I was used ...when my money ran out , life became horrible until i left. After 23 years of no husband..... I am happy and very single. Not looking
Enjoy your cats 🐈
I bet the book is fantastic. The comments so far, are just more proof to me that this world needs God desperately. Much respect for the both of you. You're doing the right thing, guiding people in the right direction. 🙏🏻
She must dye her hair because shes way too young to have white hair like that. Oh well whatever. Y’all are great 😊
Leave her alone lol
You have been married for a long time, so I don't really think you can express how life would be like as a single person. Life would be different, but you'd still be the same people.
Till death do us part….. period
I need a wife because I burn with passion but I’ve never even dated before and I’m lost in life. 1 Corinthians 7:8-9. I need prayer for God to get me on the right track and for God to swiftly bring me my godly virgin wife. God bless! :)
Wheres my wife?
Where's my future ex-wife?
Ask God where your wife is and be truthful about it come from your heart
elmo can be your wife
Amen brother
Of course we’re not, but God is indifferent to our desires and our suffering. He can keep His table scraps.
I honestly wonder if I would’ve been better off staying single & never getting married.
Married for 23 years to my first wife. After 17 years menopause kicked in & she became very unhappy. Decided she’d be happier not married to me. Said she could do better… I’m just a dumb blue collar worker machinist. Remarried 3 years later, and now 13 years later I’ve raised my second family & I have a 17 year old step son that doesn’t respect me, I truly believe he hates me because I have rules & chores. While his biological alcoholic father lets him do whatever he wants… unlimited video gaming. Should have stayed single!
No your stepson will come around Don't push it let God do it let go let God just pray for your stepson
I have the same problem with my son he researches everything everything He's always seeking truth doesn't believe just believing in God and receiving what God has to give he needs evidence evidence is all around him but he does not see that pray for your stepson as I pray for my son
And pray for his biological father
@@Isaiah-53-777
We’ve done that. His dad has reprobate mind. 13 years- no change whatsoever.
@@Isaiah-53-777
Thanks 🙏
I make observations. Fat people make bad marathon runners. This kid has a first love… it’s his video game. Nothing else in this world matters to him other than entertaining himself. I’ve relented… nothing more I can say or do. He’s definitely in God’s hands… and I’m done wasting my time & energy on a toxic relationship.
Your personal freedom isn't worth one ounce of a person's loneliness. I am sorry I raised my hand in a dream when the Lord Jesus called to me and asked the question, Who will go for me? My right to make a conscious choice was stolen from me because he wanted a witness against a nation that was guilty of Genocide.
The problem is woman act on their emotions and control men.
Jesus Paul Augustine or mark driscoll lol
Unfortunately, society hates marriage.
No friends no man. Cool cool lol
Marriage is a wonderful gift from God, absolutely. However, so is singleness. Not everyone will get married, and I doubt every single person from biblical times were married. A fruitless marriage is not worth it, and we need to stop pushing marriage as superior status over singleness because it then becomes an idol for some people. Many great people of God are not married. Bit disappointed with how your teaching comes across.
Singleness is NOT a gift. It's unscriptural to claim this. God only instructed 1 person in the Bible to remain unmarried, Prophet Jeremiah. John, Jesus and Paul chose it as they had a mission to complete. That's not the case for millions of single Christians. It's a default position. Sadly, in the UK, a lot of "Christians" are unmarriageable, i.e., they lack certain prerequisites to recommend themselves as a spouse. Due to cultural issues, they're overly reserved, on top of that overly conservative, and the new generation lacks interpersonal and communication skills.
Perpetual singleness combined with celibacy is psychologically harmful. There's no research on this yet because this is probably the first time in mankind history when millions of adults have never been married.
I feel bad for people who take this man’s advice.
Why?
It's not his advice. It's God's word that he is sharing.
