from The Official Podcast of Northpark Church · host Pastor Chris Sloan
Kingdom Reclaimed – Week 2: Breaking the Walls of IsolationEver tried to “punish” someone by giving them the silent treatment—only to realize the only one hurting was you? That’s exactly what isolation does. We think it protects us, but it actually sabotages us.This week in Kingdom Reclaimed, we look at Saul in 1 Samuel 18–20: a king who let jealousy, fear, and insecurity drive him into isolation. Instead of listening, he lashed out—at David, at Jonathan, even at his own future.But there’s a better way. In Christ, we don’t have to hide, wall ourselves off, or push people away. The gospel gives us the security to be fully known and fully loved—free to risk vulnerability, invite trusted voices in, and build real community.
