Today we're talking about the POWER of showing up—literally. Whether it's a hug, a hospital visit, or just coffee across the table—face-to-face connection matters more than ever.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
1️⃣ The Late Dr. Charles Stanley said connection isn’t optional—it’s vital. Cathrine shares how his words shaped her view of relationships. 👨🏽⚕️📚
2️⃣ Tracy breaks down a powerful 2023 study showing that in-person connection boosted happiness way more than video chats or texts. Zoom has its place, but our brains want the real deal! 🧠❤️ 📖 Link to study: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-34957-4
3️⃣ Intentional connection—we get real about making time: 👩🏼💻 Our bestie Bible study is on Zoom—but we still meet up IRL! 🎗️ Tracy’s dad showed up during cancer. 🏥 Cathrine is showing up for Emily today. 💞 Lynn got a real-life hug. 🩺 Cathrine keeps it personal with in-person doctor visits.
💡 Inspiration from Scripture:
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another…” — Hebrews 10:24–25 📖
🙌 Call to Action:Who do you need to connect with in person today? 📅 Make the plan. 🕰️ Invest the time. 💙 Connect with the Lord—and with people.
You’ll both be better for it. Laugh Anyway. 🤗😂
