Okay, welcome to Single Spotlight.
This is Renee Rizzo DeVore coming at you February 10th, 2026.
We have a special Valentine's Single Spotlight.
So many of you are kind of figuring out, oh my gosh, what do I say on a speed dating?
What is the first thing I want to say?
Well, we're going to kind of practice that tonight.
And so you're going to get to hear from as many of you as possible.
And you guys, here's what I'm going to ask you to do.
While you go get your scavenger hunt, I'm going to ask you to go get a paper and pen.
Or if you type in your, if like you're on camera right now with your computer and your
phone is handy, you can take notes.
Because I really want us to take this community matchmaking thing seriously.
Like I don't want you to just like, so like girls, I don't want you to ignore the other
girls when they share.
I want you to be thinking, hey, I think I know somebody for her.
I think I know somebody for him.
So I want you to pay attention to everybody.
Give them your undivided attention.
And you guys, this is so cool.
Like yesterday, I was meeting two friends for coffee.
One very married.
She's been married like 35 years, a mentor to mine.
Our mutual friend is a girl that's in this program.
And beautiful, tall Amazon, like she makes Jackie look short.
And she went on a, she's gorgeous, but you know, big girl.
And she went on a date with a very, very short guy who was amazing.
And so now they've become buds.
Like they've decided they're not a match for a couple of reasons.
But they've decided to be friends and they're going to matchmake each other.
And long story short, as I was telling her about another friend that I have that's in
this community, she's like, oh my gosh, I think she would be perfect.
So I literally sent her a photo.
She sent it to him.
He said, hey, I'd like to meet her.
And so we just had them exchange numbers.
So you guys, I just really want you to take that seriously.
So have a paper and pen, be able to take notes.
This is us helping each other out.
We make help for somebody else, well, God will help make happen for you.
So your scavenger hunt for tonight is I want you to go find something in your house that
somebody gave, an item that somebody gave you and you know, they love you to pieces.
And this item matters so much to you because you know, you love them and you know, they
love you.
So go find your special item that you know, somebody gave you in love.
It could be a mother, a sister, a brother, a cousin, a coworker, your pastor.
It doesn't have to be like a boyfriend or girlfriend.
It could be anybody.
So go find something that you love.
Oh, Sarah Beth, I bet you you're at your son's soccer, volleyball practice.
You know what?
I bet you you can make yourself look amazing anyway.
Okay, Ella, when you're working, so you can't get on camera.
And so what you can do is when you see the questions that I put in the chat, you can
answer them and then people can go find you on Facebook.
And if a guy is interested, at least he knows a little bit about you.
Thank you, somebody else for putting that in there.
Look at all you people driving.
All right.
I will say this.
If there's a ton of people like that are not on camera, and we get to that like time in
the bucket and there's room, I will let you all come on.
Okay, Maureen, you are first.
What you got for us?
Look, she ran away.
I've got a four year old, but we're gonna teach her to be quiet.
I have this little seashell that I was walking, I was actually on a date, but I believe the
Lord gave me it and it kind of resembles a flower.
We were walking on the beach and it was just kind of like a sweet moment.
I love it.
Thank you for sharing that, Maureen.
I love it.
Melissa Dawn, what you got?
So this is a little hard to see, but it is a shadow box that has butterflies in it.
And it's in a cross.
And it's actually from my grandma because she went to heaven in April of this past spring.
And what I appreciate about it is it just reminds me of like her love for butterflies,
but also her love for Christ.
And she was such a loving and merciful woman.
We would go and visit like this guy in an iron lung when I was growing up, and she never
mentioned it.
She was like a really humble lady.
So this always makes me think of her and just her love for Christ and her love for all kinds
of people.
I love it.
Thank you.
Gail, what you got?
Well, today it came and I've been going through something.
Someone in this community sent me this.
this pillow cover and it has my favorite verse on it.
Well, read it to her.
Read us the verse, baby.
It says, she is clothed in strength and dignity
and she laughs without fear of the future.
Love it.
It's my cookie from heaven today.
I love it.
Karen, kind of, yeah.
Correct.
Okay, so this just came 20 minutes ago
at my door, my sister's been keeping track
or sending me texts every half hour,
giving me updates as to where the truck is.
My birthday's in two days
and so I FaceTimed her when I opened it
and she said, call me at 2 a.m.
And I'm like, 2 a.m., what on earth?
And she's giggling.
So anyway, it's a magic puzzle.
Aw.
And so you have to, it comes in two different packages.
It's crazy and she said, you're gonna love it.
And so anyway, it was-
I love it.
I love puzzles and so obviously she knows I love puzzles.
See that?
Y'all, we just learned something else about Karen.
I love it.
Okay, Pat McLeod, what you got?
This is from my little niece.
I don't know if you could see it.
Okay.
So sweet.
She drew this several years ago for me
and here we go on the inside.
I love you, I miss you, A-N-T, Ann.
I love it.
And then she's got a picture of her and me
that she drew, all on her own.
So I don't know if you could see that,
but you know what?
I keep it out in my living room all the time.
Awesome.
Yep.
Great.
Is it G or Gee?
It's Gee-choo-hee, but it's G for easy pronunciation.
I appreciate it.
What you got?
So it's journal time, I guess.
So I got this from my niece and nephew.
They're nine and 11 now,
but they were eight and 10 when they gave it to me.
And my sister-in-law, my brother's wife,
told me a few months ago when we were FaceTiming
that my niece has the prophetic gift
and she had a dream about me.
And before that, she had asked her,
or I think after that, she asked her mom,
my sister-in-law, can I be at Auntie Helen's wedding?
And so I had a phone call with her
all about the dream and everything like that.
So I'm believing that God is speaking to her
to encourage me.
I love it.
Is it Janie?
Janie Harris?
Jane?
Okay, Regina, you're up.
Hello, all.
So my dad was in a band when he was a young adult
called Gaga's, and he was really musically talented.
He played guitar, he played piano, sang,
and gave me, this is one, it's a classical guitar.
I have another one.
I love it, I love it.
So yeah, I, you know, when I miss him,
I just kind of play my guitar and just try to connect.
So sweet, so sweet.
Allison.
I can't hear you.
Looks beautiful, though.
This is a needlepoint of an angel,
and it's special because years ago,
I was a youth minister in Germany,
and one of my staff had made this as a child,
and it won all these awards.
Well, while we were working together,
she contracted cancer.
And so the last time I ever saw her,
she had to come back to the States with her husband
because she had cancer.
The last time I ever saw her, she gave me this angel,
and then she died.
Love it.
So it's always been special.
I love it.
Susan Bennett.
I'm muted, hi.
This is a, you see that?
It's a little bicycle.
And this is a reminder of my second oldest daughter
went to Indiana University,
and she cycled for Team Athena for the little five.
So they have a men's and women's race in April,
kind of in representation of Indianapolis Motor Speedway,
you know, the 500.
And so it's a pretty grueling race.
It's 200 laps for the women,
and the men do like 400 laps.
Anyway, this reminds me of the sweet time
before all my daughters were married,
and life was very different,
and triathlons, and racing.
All right, I gotta keep going, guys.
Mary, awesome, you go.

her one day we bought that nice fluffy hat oh i love that thank you so much for sharing janette
what you got girl hey okay so my nieces i'll
Let me flip my camera around.
My niece loves to draw and oops.
And she, oh shoot.
She painted this cute little picture of me
with a cute little purple and green
because my favorite colors are purple and green.
My husband, which is hilarious.
So yeah, she's really cute.
Love it.
She's my biggest fan.
I love it.
All right, we only have two more left
and then we're gonna go on to the speed dating round.
Kevin, you are up.
What you got for us?
So I got this shirt for my son
that I don't have any grandkids from,
but I have five kids and three of them have kids.
So I have seven grandkids,
but it says funpa on the front
and an American classic on the back.
It says a grandpa only funner.
And I just thought it was kind of neat
just because he knows how much my grandkids,
how much my grandkids mean to me,
even though I don't have any grandkids from him
and he lives in another state.
So he hasn't been around me very much around my grandkids,
but it's something that he bought me on a trip to visit him.
He thought it was pretty neat, so.
I love it.
All right, Felicia, bring it on home girl.
Yeah, this is, I don't know if anyone can see,
they're little cards with little tassels on them.
And when I moved from Florida from my group,
my community group, amazing group,
each person spent, I think we did three hours
and they wrote a scripture on each card for me
and they continue to send as I'm here for a year now.
So it's a lot of them I'm collecting.
I love it.
It's what community.
I love it.
Okay, is everybody ready?
So it's about 7.20.
So we've got about an hour and 10 minutes
so we can fill it up.
There's like 92 of you on the call.
I mean, it's me, so 91 of you.
I'm gonna put in the chat
the questions that you guys have to answer.
And I'm gonna give everybody a couple minutes
to collect your thoughts.
So you're like, oh my gosh, what am I gonna say?
What am I gonna say?
All right, so don't keep,
so at this point, try not to comment
because I want it easy for people to find the questions.
And so these are the questions.
So feel free with your pen and paper,
like write down answers you're gonna get.
I'm gonna give you 90 seconds on the clock.
So wherever you are at the end of 90 seconds,
your time is up.
So if you hem and haw and you only get to five questions
and you only get to five questions,
I know 90 seconds is gonna be enough
because I made my husband do this without really any prep
and he got it done in a minute and 19 seconds.
So it can be as silly and as sassy as you want it to be.
Like, my name is Renee.
I am 57 years old.
I live in Franklin, Tennessee.
I cannot relocate for a while.
I have no kids, but I'm thankful
I have somebody who has kids.
I like to eat all food.
I like it all, man.
When it rains outside,
I tend to sit inside and read a book.
When I'm at the beach,
I tend to lay like a lug on the sand and read a book.
That says a lot about me, I guess.
When I'm a new city,
I like to take a lot of photos of the architecture.
My dress style is,
I would say Boho meets New York meets Nashville.
When I'm on a road trip,
I tend to listen to yacht rock radio, yacht rock radio.
I know I should have said Christian music, but I'm not.
The last book I read was Steward of Eden for school.
And it was about how we were commanded
to care for the environment.
If I had to pick savory or sweet,
it would definitely be savory.
What words would people use to describe me?
Outgoing, friendly, caring,
and I don't know, snarky maybe.
What is genuine?
Probably genuine.
What is one thing I wish more people knew about me
that in a large crowd,
I'm actually not comfortable talking to strangers.
What is one thing,
one goal I have to accomplish the next 12 months
is graduate.
And one thing I'm doing to make it happen is study.
You can find me on Facebook.
So you see how fast I just kind of went through it?
So that's what you're gonna do.
The questions are there.
And let's see, it's 7.23.
I'm gonna give you one more minute to get yourself ready.
So make sure you look good.
Make sure the light's on you.
Like see, light is on me.
It's making me look young.
Okay, let's see.
What if we don't want to be on the spotlight?
Well, then you don't have to, Mickey.
It's all good.
This is all invitation.
Like this is invitation.
An opportunity for you to be spotlighted in the community.
It's also an opportunity to just practice.
What is it like to be on a first date?
What is it like to ask silly questions?
So many of you go like, oh my gosh, what do I ask besides what do you do for a living?
Where do you go to church?
I'm trying to give you guys questions every single month on Single Spotlight.
You know, random questions that you can bring on a video day and on a live date so you're
not asking the same old, same old.
So this is what I keep trying to do for you guys every single month is just trying to
do that.
And so obviously you need to be able to get on camera if you are on a camera.
If you're at, if you're in a location where you can't speak up, it might not be your time
to get on camera.
Okay.
So as soon as you raise your hand that I know you're ready to go and I've got my timer ready.
And so it doesn't matter.
You're like Renee, but you've spotlighted me before.
I don't care.
Everyone gets a chance at the, everyone gets 90 seconds.
All right.
Janie.
Oh girl, you're here now.
I'm so glad.
I mean, we lost you before, but you're here.
Are you ready?
Unmute girl.
Are you ready?
I am ready.
Sorry, my internet went out.
Okay.
Go.
Hi, my name is Janie.
I am 61 years old.
I currently live in Hampton, Virginia, but I'm relocating to Phoenix, Arizona in about
a couple of weeks for business.
So I am pretty flexible.
I'm willing to relocate anywhere.
Wait, maybe not in the Northern side with snows.
I do have kids and I do have two grandkids.
I've welcomed any other kids, but I'm not physically able.
What I like to eat pretty much seafood.
When it rains outside, I tend to stay inside and kind of purge on some TV.
When I'm at the beach, I don't really like the beach, sorry.
When I'm in a new city, I do like to go to museums.
I do like to exercise and walk and take in the scenery.
My dress style is pretty basic.
I like jeans and den shoes.
Pretty comfortable, but I do like to dress up every now and then to go out on a date.
When I'm on a road trip, I tend to listen to podcasts and sometimes I'll just purge
out if I'm feeling bad, I'll purge out on some spiritual music.
20 seconds.
Oh, the last book I read was Being Black in America.
If I had to pick it was savory or sweet, it would be savory.
One word that people do describe me that I'm friendly.
One thing I wish more people knew about me is that I'm an introvert.
I can be an introvert or extrovert.
Last one.
My goal is to accomplish is to pick up a few more rental properties in Arizona while I'm
there.
Awesome.
Great job.
She went first.
Everybody applause.
Great job.
Okay.
So I do like how I gave you a warning.
You got it done.
All right.
Susan Bennett, you are up.
Ready, set, go.
Hello.
I'm Susan Bennett.
I'm 66 years old.
Currently I'm in Durango, Colorado.
I kind of go to Phoenix and Durango at the moment, back and forth.
Can I relocate?
Yes.
Italy, somewhere in Italy would be the great location.
Do I have kids?
Yes.
Five daughters.
I have 13, I think, and counting grandkids.
I have two on the way.
All right.
I like to eat Italian food.
Love Italian food.
When it rains outside, if it's cold and chilly, I like to open the window and feel the breeze
and smell the rain.
When I'm at the beach, which is not my favorite, but I'll walk on the beach, play, play in
the ocean.
When I'm in a new city, I like to immerse myself in the local life.
My dress style is elegant, sophisticated, vintage, and to be always appropriately dressed
for whatever occasion.
20 seconds.
When I'm on the road trip, I listen to podcasts, Talking Heads, Funk, and R&B.
The last book I read was Sword and Scimitar by Raymond.
Abraham is talking about the Crusades and the Caliphate of Islam in the world.
If I had to pick a savory, what words would people use to describe me?
Funny, creative, and yeah.
Okay.
You're done.
Okay.
So you see how you guys, when I give you guys the 20 second warning, that should tell you
to decide if you're going to start skipping a question, go ahead and make that decision
so you get to the ones that you want to get to, or you can be amazing.
And make sure you unmute, make sure you mute Susan.
Thank you.
Okay.
Susan Carter, are you ready?
My sassy friend.
Wait, okay, wait, wait, wait.
I gotta reset.
Go.
Hey, my name is Susan Carter.
I'm 62.
I live in Los Angeles, California.
Soon to be living in Franklin, Tennessee, yo.
I don't have kids.
I would love to be a bonus mom.
You can find me on Facebook at Susan Carter.
You can find me on Instagram at Chef Susan Carter.
One thing I do that I can make happen
is I'm good at connecting people.
A goal that I wanna accomplish in the next 12 months
is to set up my new home in Franklin, Tennessee.
Thing that I wish more people knew about me,
not quite sure.
What words would people use to describe me?
Funny, eccentric, not eccentric, I don't know.
Sassy, sassy mama, and honest and transparent, I hope.
Last book I read was the Bible.
I'm, oh gosh, I'm gonna pick savory,
but I'm a sweet girl.
I am, I love my sweets.
When I'm on a road trip, I love to listen to Glen Campbell.
My dress style is Banana Republic.
I like to look classic.
When I'm in a new city,
I do like the Michelin restaurants.
I live on the beach, so I don't like going to the beach.
15 seconds.
When it rains outside,
I like to jump in the car and get on the freeway.
I like to eat everything, mostly Southeast Asian food,
but I'll eat it all, and I think I'm done.
Woo, woo, and so I like it.
So Susan was like, I'm gonna go from the bottom up
because I like those questions better.
So you can do whatever order you wanna do it in.
Okay, let's see.
Stop, reset.
Dee, are you ready?
But let's go.
Okay, let's go.
All right, hello everyone, I'm Dee.
I am an EXA, that's all you're getting.
Where do I live?
I live in Hawaii.
Can I relocate?
Yes, I run a virtual business.
Do I have kids?
I have children, a son-in-law and a daughter.
Do I want them?
Not necessarily, but I love children,
so I can be like, what do you call it?
Boneless mom, I think someone said, love it.
Love to eat food.
I love to cook it, love to eat it,
love to eat out, love food.
So I won't specify.
I bake a lot, I cook a lot.
Okay, when it rains outside, depends on my mood.
Sometimes I like to splash around in puddles.
Sometimes I just like to look at it with a hot cuppa.
Depends, but rain is not a problem.
Lately it's been cold and miserable though, ugh.
When I'm at the beach, it depends.
I'm either running across it, walking across it,
or staring at the ocean, or maybe in the ocean sometimes.
Where are we, where are we?
When I'm in a new city, I really love,
it depends again what I'm there for,
but I do love to explore and find out about the surroundings.
Don't like the touristy things.
I want to be where the people are.
What else, what else?
Oh, my dress style.
It's diva slash boho chic.
Very sophisticated, very elegant.
I love clothes.
When I'm on a road trip, I like to listen to,
it depends again.
It could be rock, it could be,
I love Christian worship music, love worship music,
love music, I'm a musician, love music.
Could be classical, it could be anything.
Last book I read, yes, it was Bible.
Also, I read a few books at a time.
So there's Cybersynetics, there's a book on prayer,
and then there's always a business going on.
Oh, my goodness, say Rhyan Sweet.
What words, honest, lovable, fierce, focused,
warrior, prophetic.
Good job, good job.
Okay, time is up.
Okay, here's the thing though, you guys.
I'm noticing a lot of people not trying to go here.
It's only 7.32.
There was only like, I don't know, six people that went
and only like 10 more to go,
and there's 90 of you on the call.
I'm just saying the rest of you need to get very brave.
Look at, they're like busting it out in 90 seconds.
So I'm gonna wait and I'm gonna hope and pray
in the next 10 minutes more hands are gonna raise.
Christopher, our first guy of the night, let's do it.
And you know what?
Since you're the first brave guy,
I'm gonna let you take as long as you want
to finish those questions, I'm just saying.
Oh, weird to think I was prepared to rapid fire all of them.
All right, well, I'll slow it down a little bit.
I'm Chris, I'm 35, I live in Syracuse, New York.
I might be able to relocate, but prefer not.
I have my own home and a very decent paying job.
I don't have kids, but I definitely want some in my future.
I like to eat.
Pizza, above all things. When it rains outside, I'm probably spending time indoors. If I'm at the
beach, I'm digging a hole. When I'm in a new city, I'm trying to stake out the hot spots or look for
the best place for food. I tend to dress in hacker chic. When I'm on a road trip, I'm probably
listening to comedians or podcasts. The last book I read was probably a technical manual,
but I read three chapters of the Bible every night. If I had to pick, it would be something
sweet. The words people would use to describe me are the exact three adjectives I would tell them
to assign to me, which are charismatic, intelligent, and dead sexy. And let's see.
People, I don't have anything that I wish they knew about me, but in the next 12 months, I'm
hoping to get promoted. And I'm trying to provide value to my boss by developing a team's agent for
my team. So to try to get promoted, I can be found on Facebook at Christopher DeLucia. And
if that's too hard for you, you can find me on my brand new ministry page called Operation Single.
Do you finish all of them?
Uh, that's...
Look at you, and you did it in one minute, 26 seconds. And y'all, that was good. That was good.
All right. Helen G, you're up, girl. Are you ready?
I don't know if I'm ready or not, but I'm going to go.
You can do it. You are up. Go for it, girl.
All right. So I'm Helen, Helen G on Facebook. My real last name is Gichuwi. Like I said,
it's easier to pronounce that. I'm 51. I live in Temecula, which is halfway between San Diego
and LA. I can relocate. I don't know about Alabama, like I put on Facebook, but I can relocate.
I do not have any kids. I would love to have some kids, bonus kids, or however the Lord
wishes to bring them. I like to eat what I cook. I cook a lot. My middle name is Chef,
Chef Helen. My dress style is classic, but tomboy when I'm playing pickleball.

Hi, I'm Nicole Howell.
I am 41 years old.
I live in a small town in Alabama.
I could relocate.
I don't have any children,
but definitely want children in my future.
I like to eat all different kinds of food,
but I love to cook too.
Lately, I've been really craving a lot of Asian food.
I've enjoyed that a lot.
When it rains outside, I like to stay at home,
watch some movies, cuddle up.
That's what I love to do.
When I'm at the beach, I do like to get some sun.
I like to swim, but definitely need my sunscreen
when I'm out there, it's imperative.
In a new city, usually I'm just kind of.
along with the flow of whoever I'm hanging out with. But I do like to go see the sites and check
it out. My dress style is definitely very girly. I like to dress up but nowadays you don't get many
opportunities to dress up a whole lot so usually it's casual. But I love florals and just being
really girly. The last book I read it was the Bible and that's always a good one. To pick
savory or sweet it would definitely be sweet but I like both. People describe me as being
wise and bold and kind and intelligent and let's see what I wish more people knew about me.
I think I look a lot younger than what I am so sometimes people think I don't have a lot of life
experience. So anyway sometimes I just wish people knew that there's a lot that I've gone through and
faced in my life. A goal in the next 12 months is I definitely want to get married. Also I
want to work on my health and so I've started doing that health and fitness and that's been
a blast and you can find me on Facebook as Nicole Howell and if you look for Augusta,
Georgia it makes it a little bit easier because I used to live in Augusta and that's all.
Awesome great job great job. Okay Leanne are you ready?
Yeah so I'm Leanne Beaver like the animal not Justin. I'm currently in Denver but I'm
from central Pennsylvania near Amish country. I can relocate and I have two kids and I'm open to
other kids as well. So I like to eat flights of any kind. My favorite so far has been a steak
flight in Tacoma Washington. When it rains outside I tend to go out and dance in it. When I'm at the
beach I'm typically reading a book or people watching and when I'm in a new city I get the
opportunity of being there for 13 weeks because I'm a travel nurse. So the first things I look
for is a chocolatier and a farmer's market and also something historical to do. My dress style
is sweatpants to work because I work in the OR and I have to change anyway and when I'm not in
the OR it's comfortable casual. Let me see on road trips I like to listen to podcasts and country
music 80s music or worship music. I am currently reading The Myth Makers which is about the
relationship between C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. I can't pick between savory and sweet so it's hard
to take me out to breakfast because I go back and forth. Let's see people use the words kind,
great listener, great input and encourager. One thing I wish more people knew about me is that
I'm very adventurous. One of the last things I did was bungee jump in New Zealand. All right time's up
so sorry Leanne I did let you go over a little bit over it just so you guys know if you're in the
middle of something I hate cutting you off so I want to at least let you get that but bungee jumping
Leanne I would not have known that about you so I'm glad we found that out about you.
I love it. Okay Cheryl you are up. Okay hi I'm Cheryl Guyon. I'm 53. I live in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada. I am willing to relocate. I have no kids yet open to bonus kids. I like to eat anything
and I'm usually the one person the one person who picks the most unusual item on the menu and will
try something once. When it rains outside I tend to take deep breaths as I love the smell of rain.
When I'm at the beach I tend to explore for seashells because I like to collect them. When
I'm in a new city I like to explore and find unique food spots and check out the architecture.
My dress style is classic slash boho. When I'm on a road trip I tend to listen to skillet
and something similar to that genre. The last book I read was Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament.
If I had to pick a savory or sweet item I would pick more savory yet would not deny a sweet treat
or for an ending. People tend to describe me as loyal, adventurous, and listener. One thing I
wish others knew about me is that I have a missional heart and worked with orphanages
and schools around the world and the goal I have to accomplish is to improve my health and travel
and my facebook handle is here like you see here Cheryl Guillon or my IG handle is
at Travel Gourmand so thank you. Okay Cheryl were you with us when we had the
last year single event in Nashville and Skillet was one of the bands?
I would not have picked you for a skillet girl.
Okay.
I love it.
Okay, Candace, are you ready?
Yes.
Okay, you got it.
My name is Candace.
I'm 41.
I live in New York City.
I cannot relocate.
I do not have any kids.
I like to eat dim sum.
When it rains outside, I tend to stay indoors.
When I'm at the beach, I like to sit under the umbrella
with my toes in the sand.
When I'm in a new city, I like to try the local cuisines.
My dress style is dress casual.
When I'm on a road trip,
I tend to listen to the classic Radio Rock.
The last book I read was the Hawksmore Cookbook.
If I had to pick savory or sweet, it would be sweet.
People describe me as caring, attentive, organized.
I wish more people knew that I have a good sense of humor.
One goal I hope to accomplish in the next 12 months
is to find my new career and to get married.
And you can find me on Instagram at Natsumi26.
Did you do all of them?
Yes.
Candace, you might've hit the record.
I mean, that was like 55 seconds.
Okay.
That was good.
And you didn't even sound like you were rushing.
That was awesome.
All right, Gwen, are you ready?
Yes.
Go ahead.
My name is Gwen Whedon.
I live in San Luis Obispo, California.
It's on the Central Coast.
I'm 10 minutes from the beach, so I love the beach.
I go paddle boarding all the time.
I attempt to surf.
It's super hard.
I'm in my 60s.
That's all I'm gonna say.
And I'm younger than you think.
No.
Anyway, at heart.
Anyways, I have a son who's 35.
He's home and he's a nurse in our town.
And I love to eat fish tacos, Mexican food, fresh.
I'm eating fresh a lot lately without sugar.
And I feel amazing.
The way I dress, kind of like surf, boho, casual.
And dresses.
I've been wearing dresses.
It's so fun.
The last book I read was heart book, heart work.
It's been amazing.
I did it twice.
Anyway, words.
People describe me as encouraging, joyful, laughing,
loyal.
I heard that and I'm like, yeah, that's me.
What words?
What is the one thing you wish people?
Um, one goal in, oh, I am a speaker.
I love public speaking.
I speak and I teach quilting and I have for 35 years.
And I give me that microphone.
It's my favorite thing to make people laugh.
And I, my goal is to find my husband this year in 2026.
I feel really good about it.
I think I've done everything on the list
to get there.
I feel like I'm completely healed.
Okay, you're up.
Do you wanna say your handle or is it just the Gwen Whedon?
It's Gwen Whedon or Sunshine Quilting
on Facebook, Instagram, and all that.
Awesome, awesome.
This is a buddy.
Awesome.
Christina, are you ready?
I am ready.
So I'm Christina Bernard.
I am 34.
I live between Jackson, Mississippi and Dallas, Texas
because I work remote and I can go where I need.
So I am open to relocation.
I have no kids and sure, I would like to have kids.
I like to eat homemade bread.
And if it's raining outside, I tend to sleep.
When I'm at the beach, I will sit in a chair
because I don't like the beach that much.
When I am in a new city,
I kind of just get on the bus line and explore,
walk around, pop on and pop off, right?
My dress style is kind of bright, tailored and classic
unless I'm coding, then I'm wearing a hoodie.
When I am on the road trip, I tend to listen to podcasts,
gospel, classical, any international pop.
Last book I read was Dragon Sword,
which is about a middle-aged woman
who gets sucked into a portal and becomes a dragon lord.
If I had to pick between savory or sweet,
I'm choosing sweet all day.
What words do people use to describe me?
Knowledgeable, independable.
What is one thing I wish more people knew about me?
I work highly technical work,
but I actually grew up musically inclined,
writing, poetry, et cetera, dancing.
I went to a former art school.
So I kind of am one of those strange, both-sided people.
And one goal I have to accomplish in the next...
12 months is I have to edit my book.
And to do that, I have to schedule it and not unschedule it,
which has been happening a lot.
I don't really use social
because I've worked behind the platforms
and some of them still track me.
So you can find me on Instagram at Geeky Insights,
but I'm never on there.
It's better if you just go to LinkedIn
and type in my full name, I'll pop right up
and it'll email me that someone messaged me.
You can just find me if you type in Christina Bernard,
green shirt, puffy hair.
Good job, Leigh.
Good job, I love it.
And it's actually not unusual for music people
to be math inclined,
because I learned that from the worship leader at my church.
It's actually the same part of the brain
that you can do the math
that does the creative music part too.
Don't really understand it.
All right, is it Marilee?
Am I saying it right?
Tell me how you spell your name or say your name.
Just like Bob, Marlee.
Oh, Marlee, oh, fun.
Okay, well, you are no Bob.
You are way hotter than Bob, so you are up.
Go ahead.
Okay, so my name is Marlee.
I'm 56.
I live in Ottawa, Canada.
Can I relocate?
Well, it depends if it's warmer and it depends where.
Do I have kids?
No.
Do I want kids?
Probably not.
I like to eat, period.
Mostly healthy and fresh food.
When it rains outside, I read or turn on the music.
Usually it's salsa music.
When I'm at the beach, I swim, I read, I take pictures,
and I chat with people who are around me.
When I'm in a new city,
I like to explore new restaurants and farmer's markets.
My dress style, except for today,
because I'm just coming back from the gym,
but my dress style is an elegant garment.
And when I'm on a road trip,
I tend to listen to personal development podcast.
The last book that I read is called The Go-Giver.
And if I had to pick savory or sweet,
definitely savory.
And the words to describe me,
serious, loyal, and affectionate.
What do I wish that people would know about me,
that I'm introverted,
even though I'm social, but I'm introverted.
And the one goal that I want to accomplish
in the next 12 months, it's to get engaged.
And you can find me on Facebook
with my full name, Marlie Monfiston.
Great job, great job.
Okay, Gail, we have two more left, you guys, don't bail.
Let's give all our attention
to the final two fabulous ladies.
All right, Gail, you're up.
Okay, my name's Gail.
Live in New Jersey, Galloway, New Jersey.
I'm 68.
I can relocate.
I have three daughters.
I love eating everything.
That's my problem right now.
On rainy days, I love doing a craft
and either listening to a book or watching a Hallmark.
The beach, I'm not really fond of
because I grew up on the beach and it's not my thing.
New cities, I love discovering the history of it.
My dress style, I was in scrubs for over 30 some years,
so it's kind of like a casual,
but I'll dress up occasionally.
On road trips, I love listening to books.
The last book I just got done
was a Debbie McCumber's book
and it was Walking on the Beach.
I love sweets.
What people would say is I'm willing to help out,
you know, I'm there for them.
If they need help, I love praying for people.
One thing I would like people to know,
I'm really an introvert.
It took me a lot to do this.
So the next 12 months, and Renee knows this,
the next 12 months,
I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone
and you can find me on Facebook.
Woo, I know that was not easy for you.
Good job, gal.
And you're lucky, I forgot to start the timer,
so I don't even know how long it took.
It was the Lord helping you out there.
Okay, Stephanie and then Abram.
Those are our last two for the night.
Stephanie, you are up.
Hi, everyone.
All right, my name's Stephanie.
you can call me Steph. I'm 43. I live on the west side of LA. Yes, I'm open to
relocating. I don't have kids, but I do want to be a mom. I would love to have
kids of my own or be a bonus mom. I really love food, so I love soul food,
Mexican sushi, but I'm a Texas girl who loves steak and barbecue. When it rains, I
love to splash in the puddles. When I'm at the beach, I love to stare at the
waves and how the sun reflects off of the water as well. When I'm in a
new city, I love to try the local flavors of restaurants and listen to live music.
I'm a casual dresser, but I also love to dress up in dresses and skirts, but no
matter what, I love color. Road trips, my go-to is rewatch podcasts, but I also
love to listen to fun music like Earth, Wind & Fire. Last book was a heartwork
book. I love sweet over savory, especially brownies. People would
describe me as warm and kind, and I can't think of another thing that I wish that
they would describe me as. One goal that I want to accomplish is to write and
release music, and you can find me on Instagram at
Abram, are you ready to do it, man? Can you hear me? I can hear you. Thank you,
Jesus. All right, I'm on your mic. Okay, here we go. My name is Abram Dukas. I am 40
years old. I live in Fresno, California, right in the middle of California. I am
willing to relocate. I do not have kids. I want kids very much. If you have kids,
that's cool with me. I basically eat Italian food mostly. I'm
pretty crunchy, you know, I read food labels, stuff like that. When it rains
outside, I do kind of like, you know, again, like everybody else, smell
the rain, enjoy the weather, clean air. When I'm at the beach, I probably bring a
football so I can play catch with random people. That's always fun, or a
floaty, I do enjoy that. Some sunscreen as well. When I'm in a new city,
definitely try to embrace the culture of that city by either through food, or
maybe like a local event, something like that. My dress style, a lot of times I'm
in gym clothes. I'm going to the gym, so pretty casual, but I do like to dress for
the part, depending on what's going on. It's nice to have a reason to wear a, you
know, a suit, stuff like that. When I'm on the road, I tend to listen to, I mean, I'm
down for like some Dean Martin, some classical stuff. You could put on some
country, but I'm kind of getting away from all the degenerate stuff, you know.
That's kind of like when I was younger. See here, the last book I read was
Jackie's book, amazing, absolutely amazing. Let's see here, savory or sweet, it's
always savory, salty for me, but if you order dessert, I will, you know, help you
out with that, but I'm savory all day long. People used to describe me, I would
say loyal, I would say kind, also not afraid to share my opinion. Yeah, working
on that sometimes. Here we go, let's see here. People knew about me is I'm a nice
guy, I'm approachable, I do have a little RBF, but I'm just trying not to wrinkle
this thing up, so, you know, you could ask me where things are located and all that,
I'm a pretty nice dude, I'll try to help you out. Let's see here, goal of mine for
sure, I want to get pregnant, that's a goal of mine, I want to be pregnant in these
next 12 months. Huge, huge, number one thing, I want to be preggo so bad. Let's see
here. Okay, wrap it up, you're over time, so wrap it up. You have my phone number
right there, hit me up, don't be shy, don't be scared, don't play around.
Appreciate it. I'm so glad you got a new mic, that was so awesome. I like how he
wrapped that up, my phone number is right there, don't be shy. Do not be shy, man, I
mean, y'all, like, there's no screening, he's just, he's just saying, call me. It
reminded me of, like, I want to say my first fundraising event at Hope Clinic
when I moved here, one of my early ones, it was like this big, it was called Smoke
on the Water, and it was like this big cigar event, but it was like during GMA
week when they used to have the Dove Awards, and it used to be like a big thing
down here, so it was like all the Christian labels, and I got up to do my
spiel, and I'm like, oh, and by the way, I'm single, call me. But what I didn't know at
the time was that 99% of the men that were there were married, so that did me
zippo good. You guys, tonight was so much fun, I just hope you feel like you broke
out of your shell, that you proved that you could get on camera, you can be
vivacious, you can be outgoing, you could say fun things.
I mean, did everybody learn something new about each other?
Like who knew that Cheryl Nelson was an instigator?
OK, you just seem like sweet and innocent.
That was the last thing I was expecting and that Leanne would go bungee jumping.
I'm just saying there's just so much fun in learning cool things about each other.
So I can't wait to see you next month doing this again.
So be ready, because, you know, I always have different questions
and I always keep it fun and interesting.
And I can't wait to see you on my next coaching call,
because I've been taking notes, listening to all the stuff
that you're putting in the feeds, and I'm like, OK, we're going to talk about that.
Anyway, God bless you all.
Let me just pray you out.
Father God, I just thank you for each and every single person here.
I ask that you bless them abundantly.
Father God, you know, something that they need right now,
something super practical, something that they might not even admit to in a group.
But Father God, I ask that you meet that practical need.
And for some reason, I just feel like I'm supposed to pray about it.
Somebody needs money.
Somebody needs time.
Somebody needs a job.
Somebody needs their household.
Father God, you know what that thing is.
And I ask that you meet that need so that on Faith Friday,
they can celebrate and say, like, right now, Renee claimed it
and I'm named and I'm going to claim it and I'm going to be able to see that blessing.
And so we just ask that you be with each person.
May they feel your love above all this week
and know that they are valued and treasured and they are heirs of the kingdom.
All right, guys, have a great week.
