Encore Episode 02 | Overcoming Loneliness: Don’t Die Alone. Seven Ways to Make New Friends
Hello Jesus People Sisters!
In this episode, Janine and Ellie discuss the health risks of loneliness and the current loneliness epidemic.
We discuss how authentic friendships and Christian community enable us to overcome loneliness.
We share seven ways to make new friends and why you should continually pursue new friendships.
We present the idea of a Moai, the Okinawan community group, which unites older individuals in a committed support and friendship group.
As an older single woman, consider starting your own Jesus People Sisterhood community group. Start by joining our online private Facebook group at Jesus People Sisterhood Community. No one has to die alone.
May this episode bless you!
Ellie and Janine
