Life wasn’t meant to be lived alone. In this episode, discover how God designed you for connection, and why real community can help you find strength, healing, and purpose again.

Have you ever felt disconnected from people or even from God?

It’s easy to drift into isolation, especially when life gets busy, painful, or disappointing. But God didn’t create you to go it alone. He designed you for community, for belonging, and for relationships that strengthen your faith.

In today’s devotion, you’ll hear the story of a man who walked into church after seven years away, planning to leave unnoticed. But one simple “Hey, glad you’re here” changed everything. Through small acts of kindness and connection, he rediscovered what it means to belong in God’s family.

Main Scripture:

Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 – “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.”

Supporting Scripture:

Romans 12:5 – “so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why isolation keeps us stuck and community helps us heal
• What real belonging looks like in the body of Christ
• How one small step toward others can open the door to renewed faith

Today’s Challenge:

Take one small step toward community this week. If you’re not connected to a church, visit one. If you already attend, find someone standing alone and start a conversation. A simple act of kindness can be the first step toward someone’s healing, and maybe your own.
