Loneliness is a beast that feeds on moments unshared, on the laughter that echoes only in memory, and on the yearning for touch that remains unmet.

It slinks into the spaces left by absence, growing larger as hope diminishes. Its breath is cold, whispering doubts that erode self-worth and whispering lies that amplify the void.

Yet, like all beasts, it can be challenged. It retreats in the presence of light—the light of vulnerability, connection, and courage. Though its grip is fierce, it is not unbreakable.

To conquer loneliness is to first name it, to call it out of the shadows and to face it with the strength of reaching out. Jesus Christ, the light of the world, knows what if feels like to be alone and gives us power to walk us into the light of connection.

Author and pastor Mike Novotny joins the team to shine a light on the pathway out of loneliness with a conversation about his new book Lonely Less: 6 Steps to a Less Lonely Life. Share this please!
