In today’s episode, Blakely sits down with dear friend and role model Holly Scurry Todd for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about singleness, waiting on God, and learning to surrender your timeline.
Holly shares what it was really like walking through 40 years of singleness—the hopes, the disappointments, the moments of trusting God, and the times she admits she tried to take matters into her own hands. Like many of us, her journey included seasons of questioning, wrestling, and wondering what God was doing in the waiting.
But as Holly looks back now, she sees that those years were far from wasted.
During that season, God was shaping her heart, deepening her dependence on Him, and using her life in extraordinary ways. Instead of sitting on the sidelines, Holly stepped into the calling God placed in front of her—helping launch ministries that are now impacting families across the world, rescuing people from slavery, and mentoring the next generation of leaders.
Together, Blakely and Holly talk about how to be present in singleness, how to trust God when your story looks different than you expected, and what it means to let God “romance your heart” in a way that ultimately satisfies deeper than any relationship could.
This conversation is honest, encouraging, and full of wisdom for anyone walking through a season of singleness, waiting, or learning to trust God more fully with their future.
More than anything, this episode is a reminder that God is always working in the waiting—and He wastes nothing.
