Hello, Jesus People Sisters!
In this episode, Janine and Ellie talk about the health risks of loneliness and the current loneliness epidemic.
We discuss how authentic friendships and a Christian community enable us to overcome loneliness.
We share seven ways to make new friends and why you should continually pursue new friendships.
We present the idea of a Moai, the Okinawan community group, which unites older individuals in a committed support and friendship group.
