What happens to our hearts when we start pulling away from others? In today’s episode, hosts Richelle Alessi invite us to reflect on the theme of isolation, drawing inspiration from Proverbs 18:1. Together, we’ll explore why it’s so easy to distance ourselves—whether out of busyness, hurt, or the desire to go our own way—and what we might be missing when we choose solitude over community. We’ll see how God designed us for meaningful relationships, the importance of sound judgment from trusted voices, and how healthy friendships and Christian fellowship can keep us anchored in love and truth.
Let’s join together as a community in prayer and devotion, seeking the courage to step out of isolation and into the supportive embrace of genuine connection.
