In this talk especially for Young Single Adults, John offers “The Parable of the Piano” as a metaphor for the young adult experience: sitting alone on a piano bench with a piece of music, “Matrimony: A Duet,” propped up in front of you. As people come by and offer their suggestions (“You could play that music if you tried harder” or “if you had more faith” or “if you weren’t so picky”), things can get pretty frustrating. “Don’t get too discouraged,” John counsels, and he goes on to offer plenty of sound advice on “getting joyfully through these in-between years.” This talk is an abridged version of the book, What I Wish I’d Known When I Was Single.
