ponderingGod - Lonley People

from PonderingGod Hosted by Pastor Craig McCourt

In this episode, Pastor Craig McCourt reflects on National Cheer Up the Lonely Day through a confessional Lutheran lens. He explores biblical promises—Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 68:6, and Hebrews 13:5—and shares a vivid illustration of Christ as a bridge over loneliness. Pastor John Niebuhr joins for an interview on modern loneliness, the unique challenges pastors face, and practical church responses. Listeners are challenged to identify someone in their life who feels isolated and take a simple step toward genuine Christian community.
