Episode 67: Lonely in a Loud World: Finding Real Connection Again
We’re more connected than we’ve ever been…but somehow, we’ve never felt more alone.
This week, we’re sitting down with Emily Sturgell, a school psychologist who sees firsthand how loneliness is quietly affecting people of all ages. And not just emotionally… physically too.
This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and honestly a little convicting in the best way.
We talk about what’s really behind the loneliness epidemic, how technology is shaping the way we connect (and disconnect), and what it actually looks like to show up for people in a meaningful way… even in the middle of busy, everyday life.
Because the truth is, connection doesn’t happen by accident anymore.
It has to be intentional.
And the good news?
It doesn’t take something big to make a difference.
We kept coming back to this scripture:
“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2
We weren’t created to do life alone.
And sometimes the most powerful thing we can do… is simply be there.
Key Topics:
Our Challenge This Week
Think of one person.
Someone you haven’t checked on.
Someone who might be carrying more than they’re showing.
Reach out.
Send the text.
Make the call.
Show up.
It doesn’t have to be perfect.
It just has to be real.
