Episode 23 - The Family Church and Combating Loneliness

Great Questions, Great Conversations

Aug 9 2023 • 44 mins

Loneliness is an epidemic in our society today.  Recent studies show that 58% of the general population struggle with a deeper level of aloneness while up to 78% of our young people in Gen Z claim a deep sense of longing for connection and yet fail to find it.  In this podcast we discuss one of the features of God's church that, at least at St. Paul's/The Bridge we call the Family Church.  While we all have a biological family of origin that we come from, we often grow apart and grow closer to others.  What role can God's church play to help facilitate the Functional Family Church - a place that can provide a respite from loneliness for many others.  We hope this episode can get us thinking about how we can work together to make this happen.
