Lonely?
• Steve Schoenwald • Series: The Struggle is Real
The Reality of Loneliness and What to Do About It Pastor Steve addresses something we all face: loneliness. From biblical figures like Adam and Jesus to modern statistics showing one in three adults feels isolated, this struggle is nothing new. Ironically, social media—designed to connect us—often makes loneliness worse. The core message? We weren't meant to go through life alone. The solution isn't waiting for others to reach out first. It's about taking initiative: looking up from our devices, genuinely seeing people around us, and practicing what he calls "radical hospitality"—inviting others in, even when it feels awkward. Sometimes the best way to feel less lonely is helping someone else feel less lonely too.
