"The most profoundly well-adjusted and joyful person who ever existed was never married." - Dr. Esau McCaulley
Dr. Esau McCaulley pushes us to confront the way we approach marriage, singleness, and community. Scripture treats marriage as a metaphor — a sign pointing beyond itself to God’s covenantal love for His people. When we make marriage the ultimate thing, we distort the picture and God it was truly meant to reflect.
Singleness isn’t a waiting room.
Marriage isn’t a finish line.
Both are contexts where we should glorify the God we will one day be joined together with in heaven.
