Many people are surrounded by others yet still feel deeply alone. In this conversation, author and pastor Mike Novotny shares insights from his new book Lonely Less: 6 Steps to a Less Lonely Life. He unpacks the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, explores why loneliness has become such a defining struggle in today’s culture, and points to practical, biblical ways to experience meaningful connection again.

Through honest reflection and scriptural wisdom, Mike helps listeners see that God designed us for community — not just in crowded rooms, but in real, authentic relationships. He offers hope for those longing to feel known, seen, and valued, and encouragement for those who want to walk alongside others in their loneliness. This conversation is both deeply relatable and rich with truth for anyone longing to live a little less lonely.
