We explore the epidemic of loneliness and its deeper spiritual roots. God designed us for connection with Him first and then others, yet modern life often works against that design. In a world that’s lonelier than ever, we must first find our identity in Christ as our true source of belonging, allowing His love to shape how we connect with others.

QUESTIONS:

1. What does your current experience of loneliness reveal about where you’re seeking connection or fulfillment?
2. In what ways might you be looking to relationships, marriage, or family to meet needs that only Christ can fulfill?
3. What intentional steps could you take to pursue a deeper, Christ-centered connection with others this week?
