Episode 202: Socially Distancing and Socially Distant

One of the results of social distancing is that we are more likely to become socially distant.  Just because you’re practicing social distancing it doesn’t mean you have to be socially distant.  We can still call people, text people, video chat people, engage more deeply with people that we're quarantined with and so on.  The trouble is sometimes, even when we’re not practicing social distancing, we can still be socially distant.

One of our #WholeLifeTakeAways this week asked:  How have you intentionally tried to connect during this time to avoid for yourself or relieve another’s feeling of being socially distant?

If there was ever a week, or a time to share what Jesus is doing in your life to connect with others who desperately need a word of hope and the assurance that the #Resurrection and the #Salvation it brings is in fact real, and for all, this is it!  Please share with all of us what God has put on your heart to reach out and connect.  We will play your voicemail responses on next week’s podcast, or if we have enough we will put together an extra episode with just the responses.  We’ll call it the #WholeLifeHope episode!  Imagine sharing with friends, family, and neighbors that need to hear from someone who is leaning on God to get through this!.  You can share by using one of the following:
