Why We Isolate
from Gateway Church Austin · host Gateway Church Austin
Do you ever wonder what motivates us to do some of the things we do? Or what other people are thinking when they do the things they do? Seemingly inexplicable, we think and do things sometimes without even realizing why. For example, why do we isolate ourselves from others? For the Christ-follower, doing that seems antithetical to God's mandate to go and spread the Good News to everyone, yet we find ourselves doing it. Sometimes we form cliques because we want comfort, or we draw away from others because we fear being hurt. Senior Pastor John Burke examines the chapter of Luke and how it explains the human nature of isolation, and how we can move away from it toward real connection.
