RIP to Loneliness | David Marvin + Jennie Allen

You're not alone in feeling alone. A 2019 study found that three in five Americans reported being chronically lonely. In this message, we're joined by Jennie Allen to discuss how to find your people and create deeper, long-lasting friendships.

I am a burden. In immense pain, life is in a recliner..... being disabled has changed my social circle. Sob. To anybody else who is Invisible. I pray for you to feel valued...... 🙏 England 🇬🇧

Same here!😪😪😪😪

[@toniidowu6301]

You're not a burden. Jesus loves you, I know it's something we all say but He sees you and knows you and loves you! God knows it is not good for man to be alone, pray for friends and the wait may seem long but trust that God is who He Says He is - Good!

What I notice is that once people get into relationships, they don’t have time for their single friends except for once every 1-2 months. Yet when things go south, they want these friends that they didn’t make much time for.

[@elizabethwilk9615]

I always invite single friends over even if am married now. I was once in that position and its very lonely

[@paulettecheltenham4964]

I completely agree. People just make lip service to being inclusive with singles, but once they get married, that is it. You become a 3rd wheel.

[@annatevesbanzon1359]

Agreed, I'm guilty as charged but more because of work not so much my hubby. Also I have to admit that I have had to pursue exercise unlike in my younger single years, so I have driven some friends away with my pursuit of physical group activities as opposed to just meeting to eat all the time.

I needed every bit of this message. Then she begins repeating “It’s 2/22/22….” Y’all the Lord has been showing up for years in my life, about 2 years actually, and that number every time is like His stamp on those moments ♥️🙌🏼

[@Deeper_Spirituality]

That prayer at the end is the best!!!! Wow. Thank you Jesus♥️♥️♥️

I recently lost my husband. I so understand however feeling lonely in your marriage. There were times I did. I felt the most connected when I allowed him to see my weakness and or my need for help. You both also need other friends, you garland he guy. Pray you find your people.

This girl does not seem like she is speaking as a Christian. Just practical advice and somewhat from a fantasy village she keeps idolizing.

⚠️ Women Defying God ⚠️ 1 Timothy 2:12 - But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Corinthians 14:34 - Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 1 Corinthians 14:35 - And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 1 Timothy 2:11 - Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

Let's read the context and intended audience for these verses!

[@revelationsandvisions7477]

@@JonahLim19 Oh come on now don’t be so naïve. You know darn well, that this is the law of the new covenant through Jesus Christ. Do you just not want to obey Jesus and get into heaven? Or do you think Jesus made a mistake when he chose 12 apostles, and the Holy Spirit made a mistake by speaking through the apostles that Jesus had chosen? Seriously, what is your excuse for rebuking the word of God? What is your excuse for refusing to obey the word of God?

@@GrantJolanta LOL, he gave thanks to the women who ASSISTED the ministers of the word. Don’t twist the word of God. The Bible is very clear about being condemned to eternal hell for doing that.
