In this conversation, Michael Adam Beck discusses his book 'Never Alone' and the urgent need for community in a world plagued by loneliness. He shares personal experiences, including the loss of his brother, and emphasizes the importance of healing in community rather than isolation. Michael critiques individualistic culture and advocates for a collective approach to healing and faith. He also explores fresh expressions of church, the empowerment of lay leadership, and the significance of self-donation over self-preservation in ministry.   Takeaways Healing can only occur in community, not in isolation. Loneliness is a significant issue in today's society, and the church has a unique role in addressing it. Self-donation is essential for church vitality, contrasting with self-preservation.   Episode field note:  Spend time with Jesus. Every day. Take a Sabbath. Every week. Delight in God.
