I have been looking for a Church home for almost 40 years because I have been lonely without Christian Friends & feel accepted in church. Christians shun away lonely people away way too many countless times. IT’S NOT THAT HARD TO SHOW GOD’S LOVE IN ACTION & WORDS! 😭

My daughter passed away 5months ago, and I have never felt pain like it, my heart was broken to the core full stop, and I have had to ask God to comfort me every day, the valley of weeping has been my life, and grief is lonely so please if you know someone is grieving check on them often, take them for a coffee, send a a script, don,t leave them out, they already feel left out and even if they cry, just hug them and say nothing and let them cry just support them, NOT FIX THEM THAT THE HOLY SPIRITS JOB please amen

[@joshuapeterson2175]

I would love you to find a Christian therapist sweetheart. Life is hard , I’m serious about knowing that but there are beautiful days coming. Please find a therapist to talk to because I can’t pass your comment by, without telling you you are so loved and I want a better life for you. Your beautiful and God will use you someday in a way that He couldn’t use anyone but you. He created perfect you.. for a reason. Tell the thoughts to go away in the name of Jesus. Love and praying for you.

[@sonyaberkenpas5071]

Hi! I stumbled on your sermon after watching another sermon and I can really relate to this, I heard him tell me don’t go to church be the church I want to be Gods love through my testimonies. I am a TX girl who has done all her work alone with people God sent me to help me through the valley. He asked me to wait until he tells me what is next. Im a walking miracle God is so good. Amen

Love hearing from an honest broken pastor for once! It's awesome to know he's human too! Deep respect! I know I can trust u cuz you been there too! And you're brave enough to admit! Need more honest and broken pastors instead of counterfeits! Keep trusting! You will lead many out of darkness and into Jesus embrace!

[@sukaapikali9830]

so true thank you Lord for pastor life

[@user-xg6bx8zv8d]

I wish I could tell you how much I wish I lived within a short distance from a church. If you have any church es or home groups near Ottisville by. I’m desperately trying to find a church. I lost my husband in January/2024 and have had no one to support me. I was married 35 years. I would love to find community. Not just for me but to support others. I’ve been disappointed that I’m disabled with joint issues so that alone depresses me but if I could encourage others.. it would be what I think would be a huge blessings.

[@jeanliddle5773]

Thank you Shawn ,I will go to church and look for help,I am so lonely and have been most of my life,thankyou for the encouragement you have given me today

[@matthewjensen8623]

Please go reach out and keep reaching out till the right people stop and listen. You will be a blessing to the right people, and they will be blessing to you✝️🙏❤️

[@irenenyonga]

I finished watching a school video and typed into KZbin search "Help, I'm lonely" and I am grateful that God led me to this video. When Pastor Shawn said, the reason we are lonely is most times we tend to hide our deepest hurts and deepest wounds and this is hitting the nail in the head. We were created for fellowship. Thank you for this

[@jtansim]

Lets start praying for each other and be game changing

I am so lonely right now. I have been for years, probably all my life. I'm 54 now and I am alone. I don't feel a connection to anyone and its causing me major emotional stress. I've had to do everything alone all my life. Even in a group of people I'm alone and lonely. I can't take much more of it. Please pray God will send relief .

[@Redneck903]

I'm sober. I am a contributing member of society & I try to be positive. I enjoy making others laugh. But truth be told, I've been praying that God would take me home. I know taking my own life will send me to hell so that's out of the picture. However, my desire is to go home to Heaven to spend my life in true peace. I've had enough of this world.

[@redrockschurchYT]

[@Redneck903]

@@redrockschurchYT while I appreciate y'all sayin' that, the last few previous emails I sent never received a response so I'm ok with attending RRC online but maybe community isn't meant for me.

[@zhaomengling]

I hear you. I feel the exact same way and have not stopped feeling the same longing for home in heaven. I'm not saying there's nothing good in this world, I'm very blessed in many ways, but there are some pains that makes me question if I'll ever find peace, let alone joy, in this broken world. I want to go home so bad. One day God talked straight into my soul though and said He will come pick me up in person one day, and asked me whether or not I'm willing to wait for Him. I said yes. So I'm just waiting until that day. Will you wait for God to pick you up and bring you home?

[@AgapeLove1994]

I had 60 days sober and relapsed two nights and the dread and anxiety and depression is overwhelming. I’m fighting and crying out to God. I live alone and work from home too so I’m in my house all the time alone. I too want to go home. I’ve struggled with mental illness and alcohol most of my life. I’ve had some good seasons but always seem to hit this hellish cycle. I do think it’s loneliness. I started going to a new church and they have a lot of small groups. I did start one. Please pray for me.
