This One's for the Lonely

from Saved by the City · host Religion News Service

There's an art to being alone in a crowd — that doesn't mean it's always pretty. New York City may be jam packed with people, but it's also been referred to as "The Lonely City." In this episode, Katelyn and Roxy talk about living alone — the good, the bad and the ugly cries. But loneliness isn't just for the single folks out there — survey after survey has observed an uptick in people describing themselves as lonely. Ekemini Uwan joins to discuss the difference between solitude and loneliness — how we can lean into being alone and also seek meaningful connection. And a fan favorite returns to the show to PREACH! GUESTS: Ekemini Uwan is a public theologian and co-host of the award-winning podcast, Truth's Table. Her writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Huffington Post Black Voices, Christianity Today, and The Witness: A Black Christian Collective. She is a contributor to the forthcoming Truth's Table book.  The Rev. Ben DeHart, vicar of The Parish of Calvary-St.George’s and co-host of the podcast “Our Triune Pod."
