Adult life can be full of people and still feel lonely.

You may have coworkers, neighbors, family, church acquaintances, text threads, and a busy schedule — but still wonder if anybody really knows what you’re carrying.

In this episode of Groundwork, Mike Collins talks about why friendship can feel harder as we get older, why small talk often doesn’t become real connection, and why being noticed isn’t the same as being known. He also reflects on biblical friendship, the different ways men and women often approach connection, and the small faithful steps that can help us move toward belonging.

This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people — and for anyone who wants to become the kind of person who helps someone else feel less alone.
