Why Do I Feel Lonely Even When I’m Surrounded by People? With Dr. Joel Muddamalle

You're not alone in feeling alone. The truth is, we were designed to connect with others - and God - through intimacy, not just proximity. But can someone please explain that to the average, everyday person?
Today's episode is part of an ongoing series titled "Ask a Theologian" - conversations with Proverbs 31 Ministries' Director of Theological Research, Dr. Joel Muddamalle, and Content Manager for Lysa TerKeurst, Shae Hill. In every episode, Joel and Shae will tackle everyday questions with theological insight and practical takeaways.

Feel this way so often, more than I want to. I know I am never alone, I have God. I would love to connect or feel connected 🙏

I’m only lonely when I’m surrounded by people who don’t like me or misunderstand me or are mean to me or excluding me. That’s when i feel lonely. I feel less lonely when i am alone & no one is hurting me

Some Highly sensitivity people feel this way often!! And I don’t feel lonely at all because I absolutely absolutely love being extremely extremely extremely extremely introverted/and I’m also a feeler/Visionary.

In John when Mary Magdalene goes to the empty tomb, Jesus appears to her, and she thinks he’s a gardener. I’m not sure she was completely wrong, considering Eden 🌺
