"Just Wait on God” Is Why So Many Christian Men Stay Single

People often ask single Christian men a simple question: “Why are you still single?”

And the most common answer sounds faithful: “I’m just waiting on God.”

But what if that belief is actually part of the problem?

In this excerpt from Men, Explained – Episode 1, I sit down with Joe Jackson Jr. — former ACC football standout turned pastor, men’s Bible study leader, and founder of a Christian nonprofit — to unpack a hard reality many men quietly experience.

We talk about:
• Why many Christian men believe a wife will simply “appear”
• How church culture teaches patience but rarely teaches dating
• The gap between moral teaching and practical relationship skills
• And why men often have to learn confidence, leadership, and emotional regulation outside the church

This conversation isn’t about blaming the church.

It’s about recognizing that many men are being told to wait faithfully — without ever being shown how relationships actually work.

Full Episode 1 of Men, Explained coming soon.
