Why do I feel so alone? And why can loneliness still happen even when we're surrounded by people?In this message, Pastor Jordan Elliot explores why community matters, what isolation can do to us, and why we need people in our lives who truly know us, pray for us, encourage us, and stand with us when life gets difficult.Through the story of Nehemiah, we see people rebuilding something broken while facing opposition at the same time. They weren't building alone. They worked next to one another, protected one another, and were prepared to respond when someone needed help. Jordan connects that picture to the relationships we need in our own lives. Pasted textThis message also gets personal about loneliness, finding friends, shame, addiction, spiritual growth, and the temptation to become hyper-independent. Is it really healthy to try to handle everything yourself? Can you follow Jesus completely on your own? And what changes when you're surrounded by people who know what's actually happening in your life?
