Pastor Josh discusses loneliness and the importance of having a supportive community, especially within the church. He shares his own experience of moving to a new city and finding it tough to make adult friendships. The message emphasises that God places lonely people in families, which is what the church community should embody. Instead of relying solely on others for connection, individuals are encouraged to seek fulfillment in their relationship with God.
Ultimately, our belief is that the church can be a place of healing and support for anyone if you’re feeling alone.
