Daughter in Waiting Ministry

Good Morning,

I hope you’ve all been doing well!

If you’ve been following this blog since the beginning, thank you. You’ve watched me process my faith in real-time and have seen the development of this ministry from scratch. You’ve also been the first to listen to the Daughter in Waiting podcast as I narrated my blog posts into podcast episodes for you. Thank you for staying and thank you for still being in this space.

I want to be honest with you today, because my hiatus from this space was the result of two factors in my life. One, I’m struggling with my relationship with God. This faith journey has been tough and humbling and I needed a season to process it without feeling like I was performing for you and even God. Two, I needed to determine which direction I wanted to go as it pertained to the blog and its podcast. This space, even as honest and authentic as I’ve been here, has been safe and manageable and broader than what I actually have to say. What I wholeheartedly feel called to say.

This new chapter of Daughter in Waiting will be different and my blog posts will reflect that. They will continue to come as I’m inspired to write, but the podcast itself will be different from Season One. I will no longer be narrating my blog posts for you. Instead, Season 2 of Daughter in Waiting is about love, romance, sex, and celibacy – from a Christian woman who’s tired of the taboos surrounding all of it. This is a specific pivot and I want to explain why it’s the right one.

I’m a romance author. I write about love and intimacy and the specific sacred weight of physical connections between human beings. I’m currently a single Christian woman who made a commitment to celibacy when I recommitted my life to Christ. I have a specific theology about sex and relationships that I believe deeply. This theology led me to publish my debut series, How Not To Lose Your Virginity, two years ago. I believe this theology is sacred and deserves to be talked about honestly without the shame and judgment. I also believe that the church’s silence on these topics has not served us well.

That is what the Daughter in Waiting podcast will focus on moving forward. That is what this calling has always been about. I just hadn’t fully stepped into it.

Season 2 of the Daughter in Waiting podcast launches Wednesday, March 11th, 2026 at 8AM. New episodes will follow every Wednesday until season 2 ends. I’m going to talk about the real stuff regarding my celibacy journey, Christian and non-Christian dating, real feelings for complicated and imperfect people, what women may actually want in a partner, and the difficulties of singleness. I cannot wait for you to hear it and I really hope you reach out if any of the episodes resonate with you. Please reach-out as well if there are any topics you want me to discuss on the podcast for Season 3!

Regarding the blog specifically, this space will continue to be my safe corner of the internet. I cannot perform here so the posts will come as they come and as I’m inspired to write and share my journey with you. Thank you so much for understanding!

Sincerely,

Anne
