Sara Singleton | Your Discerning Life Story, Episode 7
Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Sara Singleton
“In my painful disappointments, I learned how to be content, and I learned of God’s love and sufficiency.” – Sara Singleton
Sara Singleton shares her story about the obvious and mysterious ways that she has been discerning the hand and heart of God for several decades. She begins with how she and her husband Jim met during college, and fell in love thanks to the grace of God. Jim was for her “the safest person on earth” and their marriage has been a testimony of God’s love ever since. She recounts her story of failed pregnancies and the challenge of raising an adopted child from Guatemala. Her years of ministry, most recently in Newburyport, MA, led her into her doctoral work and an incredible ministry of racial justice and reconciliation.
