Noah has a conversation with Pieter Valk on how the opposite of addiction is connection, how our culture grooms us into isolation, and how we need to be very intentional to get out of that rut and find true community. 

Pieter Valk is a speaker/author on vocational singleness and LGBT+ topics according to a biblical sexual ethic, the Executive Director of Equip (a Christian ministry that trains leaders around LGBT+ topics), a cofounder of the Nashville Family of Brothers (an ecumenically Christian modern monastery), a teacher/aspiring deacon in the Anglican Church in North America, and a licensed professional counselor. He helps churches love gay people and celibate Christians find family. Follow him on socials @pieterLvalk and learn more at www.pieterLvalk.com.
