Towards UnderstandingDani Treweek: The Meaning of SinglenessDani Treweek, who has grappled with a theology of singleness for the past 16 years, spoke to Clayton about the fact that it is frustrating that both society and the contemporary evangelical church see singleness as a state of lacking and deficiency, grounded in what it is not. Dani is the founding director of the Single Minded Ministry, and was excited to share with Clayton that she has brought together the encouraging insights from her PhD research into a new book called The Meaning of Singleness, that was launched earlier this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

Can celibacy be a dignified, intentional Christian calling—not just the default for "other people"?

The Bible and 40 Tabs Open: ConversationsFlourishing within and beyond nuclear families | Rev Dr Dani TreweekThis conversation with Dani Treweek was recorded on October 7 2024. Churches are often seen as quite favorable environments for nuclear families. But perhaps they are seen as less favourable for people who are single. Dani is showing that that’s not the picture in the Bible and it shouldn’t be the picture in the church. Instead, there is a very positive vision for singleness in the Bible, alongside a positive view of marriage and family.

Centre for Christian Living podcast078: Answering questions about lust with Marshall Ballantine-Jones and Dani TreweekOur recent live event looked at Jesus’ teaching on lust in the Sermon on the Mount. We were challenged in that event to consider once more the lives of holiness befitting Christian disciples. This includes abstinence from sexual activity outside of marriage, but we also looked at the problems of pornography and living lives in the midst of a sexualised culture.
In this episode of the podcast, we’re following up on that live event with an extended Q&A session with our guest presenters, Dr Marshall Ballantine-Jones and Dr Dani Treweek. We work through many of the outstanding questions from...

Centre for Christian Living podcast077: Commanding the heart: Lust with Marshall Ballantine-Jones and Dani TreweekJesus raises alarm when he warns us that adultery isn’t limited to sexual intercourse outside of marriage, but actually begins earlier in the lustful glance of the eye and mental fantasies. Adultery isn’t just physical; it can be done in the heart. So great is the threat of a wandering eye or a straying hand that Jesus suggests losing a part of the body instead of facing the fire of hell. Kingdom righteousness demands more than physical abstinence from sex outside of marriage, but not less.
In view of such teaching, what kind of sexual conduct is becoming of a...

Centre for Christian Living podcast044: The future of singlenessStatistics show that one in three people in our churches are single. And yet many of our church communities tend to make singles feel “singled out”—that is, we’ve so normalised marriage and children that we’ve made many single men and women feel out of place.
In this episode, Dani Treweek helps us see a richer theological vision for singleness—one that shows us what life will be like for all Christians in the future. She argues that by thinking theologically, we will better appreciate the single men and women in our communities, and better appreciate our place and God’s vi...

Centre for Christian Living podcast019: Being single and ChristianIf your church is like most churches, around a third of the people sitting in the congregation on any given Sunday are single. Some have never married; others are widows, widowers or divorcees.
What’s it like being single and Christian? How can we think biblically about the subject? And how can churches minister more effectively to the many single people in their midst?
Dani Treweek is currently doing some postgraduate research into these questions, and she joins us in this episode not only to share some of her personal experience of being single (and ministering to other singles), but to...

The Pastor's Heart with Dominic SteeleHow to preach 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 well? with Lionel Windsor & Dani TreweekThere’s a nervousness among reformed evangelical complementarians about tackling any of the New Testament gender passages, but particularly 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, where the issue of head is discussed.More recently there have been claims from some blaming the bible’s teaching on headship for incidents of domestic violence. And of course we want to speak strongly against any form of DV.But, should we avoid teaching on 1 Corinthians, or avoid chapter 11? I don’t think that’s the answer. I’ve asked a couple of friends to come and help me in my sermon preparation.Dr Lionel Windsor is a New Testamen...
