141: Building Community In A Disconnected World: Why An Alone Person Is An Emergency | With Rachael Swihart

It’s not unusual to see people sitting alone in church services. It’s so common that most people think nothing of it. Listen into this transformative story as Rachael Swihart shares, “As a society, we are the most connected we've ever been. We're also the loneliest we've ever been. About a year ago, I had a conversation with a woman who'd been coming to our church for a while. She told me that it's hard for her to get herself to come because she's divorced and comes alone. She never knew if she'd have someone to sit with. At the time, I sympathized with her but didn't pursue a plan to help … she started coming less and less until she stopped coming all together.”This all too common story was the catalyst to change in Rachael’s church. In this episode, Rachael shares simple steps we all can do to lead to change, strengthen our communities, and love more like Jesus.Join our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRESOURCES MENTIONEDGet your FREE ticket to the Women Reaching Women Conference! smallchurchsummits.comSupport the showSUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
