Loneliness in a Hyper-Connected World: Part 2

from Replant Podcast Hosted by North American Mission Board

On today's episode of Revitalize & Replant, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst continue their discussion on why many people feel lonely even in a world that is always connected. Building on Part 1, this conversation digs into practical, often-overlooked reasons loneliness persists inside the church, from generational disconnection to closed-off homes to people silently carrying heavy burdens. Together, the Marks and Dan discuss how intentional hospitality and cross-generational relationships can help churches become places where people are truly known—not just attended. Some Highlights: Younger and older believers are often disconnected. This weakens discipleship and encouragement. Hospitality is often neglected. Many homes are busy, private, or closed off. Many people suffer quietly. They carry grief, anxiety, addiction, or family pain alone. Resources Related to This Episode: Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community by Robert D.
