Episode 85 - Loneliness by Choice | From Isolation to Connection
Loneliness is something many pastors feel—but what if part of the problem isn’t just what’s happening to us… but what we’re not doing about it? In
Episode 1, we talked about how real isolation is in ministry. But this episode is different. This is a practical conversation about what it actually looks like to move out of isolation and into connection. We talk about:
• The difference between healthy solitude and unhealthy isolation
• Why connection feels awkward and hard to initiate
• How shame (especially around hidden struggles) pushes us into hiding
• The lie that “everyone knows” what you’ve done—and why that’s not true
• How to reconnect in a healthy way: God → sponsor → others
• Simple, real-life strategies to build connection (coffee, calendars, conferences, and more)
• Why waiting for connection doesn’t work—and what it means to go first God often puts people in our path—but He doesn’t schedule our relationships for us.
If you’ve been feeling isolated, this episode gives you a simple, doable next step.
