God Draws Near to the Lonely

The Best of You

Today’s Scripture is: Psalm 68:4-10

If you’ve felt the ache of loneliness, this episode offers a deeply grounding reminder: your longing for connection is not a weakness, it’s part of how you were created. Blending Scripture with attachment psychology, Dr. Alison explores how God meets us within loneliness, not just after it’s resolved.

In this episode:

*The difference between loneliness and disconnection

*How attachment needs shape your emotional world

*Why loneliness is a signal, not a failure

*A reframe of the “in-between” (wilderness) season

*How to notice small, real forms of connection already present
