Lament is a spiritual practice, and grief is a holy work. But how does this relate to the topic of loneliness? Because some of us love giving God our ideas but not our tears.

You may not receive the comfort and peace you want because you’re not giving God your full self. When you’re missing that comfort, you feel lonely. And the best way to deal with loneliness is to have deep intimacy with the Father. We have to learn to grieve with God, but for many of us, our pride becomes a hindrance to that intimacy.

This is part two of a conversation between Preston and Jackie about loneliness. Catch up on part one if you missed it last week: “When You’re Lonely by Design and by Choice” https://youtu.be/wMXNsy9YDnI

Even when we're surrounded by people, we can still feel deeply alone. Loneliness will have you wondering, “Will anyone ever fully see me, know me, and love me in light of what they see?”

In this conversation, Jackie and Preston discuss the ways loneliness can leave us vulnerable, when it might be wise to choose being alone with God instead of running to other people, and how the enemy uses isolation to discourage us. They also explore why it’s important that we develop the trust, security and awareness of God’s presence so we’re not discouraged when people leave.

This is part one of a two-part conversation, so come back next week for even more discussion of loneliness.

Southside Tribe! In this episode, we trace the roots of hip hop to today's Christian rap movement, exploring this intersection where culture, creativity, and biblical conviction collide. We discuss the impact of the commercialization of art forms, and ask the very important question: why is Christian hip hop artists often held to standards that mainstream artists aren't? Along the way, we wrestle with originality, influence, the mistake of making artistic excellence our "god", and what it really means to create music that points people to Christ. Whether you're an artist, producer, hip hop fan, or simply curious about faith and culture, this convo takes a thoughtful look at one of the most unique and diverse spaces in modern music. Pull up!

This episode is a special one. One of our very own team members joins us to talk about her journey of pivoting into the education field. From uncertainty to stepping into purpose, we discuss what it looks like to follow a new direction in life and the impact that decision can have on others. 

We also get into a meaningful conversation about parenting, sharing perspectives on raising and guiding the next generation, the challenges that come with it, and how our roles at home connect to the work being done in education.
