10 IG Accounts to follow as a single Christian woman

My newsletter family will recall that I was off Instagram for a while. I left IG in 2019 and re-joined in mid-2022.

I must confess that I was a bit worried about what I would find and the potential distractions/comparison trap when I re-joined.

As I feared, the same issues almost reoccurred until I intentionally curated whom I followed. I started following accounts that shared helpful tips, encouragement, and the word. This changed my experience.

Do you want a year filled with beauty, meaning, growth and encouragement? Then you should probably be following these Instagram accounts:

Disclaimer: While I acknowledge that we all have different tastes and we may appreciate different kinds of content, I have curated the below list based on the things that have fed my soul and enriched my life, I believe they will likely enrich yours too.

10 Instagram accounts to help you grow in 2023

I have divided these into three categories:

• Relationships, Singleness & Marriage
• Business Tips, Career Tips and Productivity
• General Encouragement/Inspiration

IG Accounts that share Relationship Tips and Advice

1. Devona Fayana – @devonafayana

She shares beautiful writing (books, blogs & poems) and encouragement for single women and budding homemakers.

2. Heather Lindsey – @Heatherlove

Heather is a popular author, blogger, and pastor. She has a very active account (I think she posts a few times a day) where she shares the word, about her family life and encouragement for women (especially single women).

       3. Tovares & Safa Grey – @Godlydating101

This couple shares timely and truth-based godly tips for singles and those in relationships. They are by far the best resource I’ve come across for singles. You should also consider getting their book.

      4. Girl Defined – @Girldefined

A great resource for every young woman. They talk about a variety of subjects that affect single women and young married women including – sex, abortion, birth control, fashion, marriage, the waiting season, etc.

       5. Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo – @Kingsleypst

Pastor Kingsley shares humorous, instructive, and encouraging teachings for singles and married couples.

 

Accounts for Business Tips and Productivity

        6. Christian Entrepreneur Organisation – @Ceoforwoman

This was a recent addition, and I am already loving it. They share helpful tips for Christian female business owners. Reminders on building a business with purpose and conviction.

      7. Awareness of Success – @Awareness_of_success

Productivity, intentional living, and wealth-building tips.

 

IG Accounts for Inspiration and Encouragement

       8. Confident Woman Co – @Confidentwomanco

This account shares empowering quotes for Christian women.

       9. Joena Sandiego – @Joenasandiego

Joena shares incredible quotes and encouragement for women. She also has great merch including jewellery, books, and clothing with powerful inscriptions.

       10. Niyi Fagbemi – @Theniyifagbemi

Niyi films and curates beautiful videos and visuals of African landscapes. I think everyone needs to check out his content. It will make you proud to be an African, and if you know little about the continent, it will make you want to visit. A win-win.

 

Honourable Mentions:

Here are a few other great accounts to follow:

• @Jackiehillperry – Author, unconventional preacher.
• @allisonhyacintho – Christian Marriage coach and counsellor. Shares great and unconventional advice.
• @selinaalmodovar – relationship coach and author.
• @Wellwateredwoman – sharing encouraging resources
• @yemisivese – sharing daily scriptures
• @adaratheexplorer – Often shares interesting and controversial titbits about home life, relationships, sex etc.
• @lisabevere – amazing teacher and encourager.

Conclusion – be intentional with your social media usage

While I have shared these IG accounts, and I pray they encourage and empower you, I still believe we should continue to practice time away from social media.

We must never forget that there is life outside of the online world.

More so, what we consume online may not always reveal the reality of these people’s lives. We often see the highlight reels (the good sides), which is okay. We don’t all have to air our issues online or in public.
