Welcome to June, BLISS fam! I’m excited for a new month and share new #SingleGoals2020 interviews with men of God in these next several weeks. More than ever, we need to share positive images and examples of our brothers and encourage each other in our culture.
I’m honored to share with you a good colleague of mine in this Christian relationship space, Yahnathan I. from Detroit! In his mid 30s, he is also using his talents and gifts to inform and encourage fellow singles through his platform and other ways, which you can discover below in this interview:
BLISS: Share how you are making the most out of your singleness:
Yahnathan I.: “I am making the most out of my singleness by identifying the areas in my character and my life that I need to improve. By seeking God and prioritizing my relationship with Him, I am able to learn things about Him, His Word and myself. There have been valuable lessons I’ve learned that I know will help me not only in life, but in my future marriage too.”
“When I meet the right woman for me, I want to be pleased and confident about what I bring to the table.”
“I’m not even really referring to my finances, but my character. I am using my time as an unmarried man to truly discover what it means to love God, myself and others. I am being intentional about improving my imperfections and developing into the man God created me to be.”
BLISS: What is one piece of advice that you would like to share with other singles?
YI: “I want to encourage other singles to spend more time with God. For those who have a strong desire for companionship and marriage, that will be a challenge. However, I know that if they are willing to commit to it they will reap unimaginable benefits spiritually, emotionally, mentally and relationally.”
BLISS: What are you currently doing in ministry or for the Kingdom of God?
YI: “I am hosting the Right to R.E.A.L. Love Radio podcast. It is the #1 dating and relationship podcast for Christians that will help them develop better relationships with God, themselves and others. I am honored to have received this assignment from God and I am committed to helping others in the community of faith and in the Kingdom of God improve and develop the healthy, amazing and long-lasting relationships they desire.”
Editor’s note: This is one of my favorite set of episodes in recent weeks: Choosing the Right One
BLISS: What project or business do you want to share with the BLISSforSingles audience?
YI: “I recently had the pleasure of co-authoring and releasing a prayer book for single women with my Mother. It is entitled, Manifest Him: Powerful Prayers for Your Future Husband. The prayer book was an assignment from God and I am humbled and excited about how God plans to use it to bless the right single women who have a sincere desire to get married and consistently pray for their future husband.”
BLISS: Anything else that you’d like to share with us?
YI: “I want to encourage others to continue seeking God first and be reminded of our primary duty in life according to Ecclesiastes 12:13: “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” If we fulfill this, there is no doubt that God will equip and bless us in every aspect of our lives.”
Thank you Yahnathan for sharing your #singlegoals and ministry through RTRL Radio with us!
