This month, we're diving into part two of our sermon series "Scars on the Soul" looking at the topics of grief, loneliness and estrangement; and we're doing something a little different on the Let's Talk About That podcast. Each week, we'll be inviting a local professional to join in on our Sunday sermon series conversation to offer some tangible advice and tools for navigating that week's topic. We know that these conversations surrounding scars on our soul can be challenging, and we want to provide as many resources as possible to find help, hope and healing in the midst of these struggles. Be sure to check to show notes for more information and helpful resources. You can find our full "Scars on the Soul" sermon series on our Youtube Channel at youtube.com/OrchardCC.

On today's episode, Pastor Chip Parker and Astin Kahnk are joined by Miriam Newton, Executive Director of New Ways Counseling Center, for a conversation about loneliness. Listen in as they discuss some of the generational indicators of loneliness, along with how we can take steps toward embracing community in seasons of loneliness.
