Want to learn how to better steward your singleness well in this season?

Our guest today is Jon Tyson, a NY based pastor who is not afraid to talk about some of the harder topics as it comes to dating, sexuality, and more.

Jon’s most recent sermon series called the Controversial Jesus has been blowing our minds and touches on topics like the transgender movement, Jesus and Politics, and also Singleness and Sexual Formation… which are 2 that inspired today’s conversation.

Jon is originally from Australia and moved to the US 20 years ago with a passion to seek and cultivate renewal in the Western Church. He is currently the pastor of Church of the City New York that launched in 2017 and previously has planted other church communities. On top of being incredibly ambitious, Jon is also an author and wrote fantastic books including “Sacred Roots”, A Creative Minority, and most recently The Burden is Light.

Some of our favorite moments from today include:
-Singleness is an opportunity to “Leverage your margin for the KINGDOM of God”. This is a time to wholly embrace God’s call on your life and cultivate Holy Ambition as a single.
-In all, “what we need is not better dating, we need better people, better christians and those people coming together will build better marriages and better relationships but right now we are using it as a bandaid for our own brokenness.”

In this conversation, we answer questions that you sent in and we we dive into some pretty fiery topics including developing “a theology of dating”, what would Jesus do if he did date, as well as our sexual formation and cultural influences. So get out a pen and prepared to have your vision reworked as we learn some incredible wisdom from Pastor Jon Tyson.
