Episode Synopsis

From Pastor Will's new sermon series "Where Everybody Knows Your Name".
Pastor Will delves into his personal experience with social media and its impact on feelings of belonging and loneliness. He reflects on the curated nature of online content, which often portrays only the highlights of people's lives, leading to feelings of inadequacy and exclusion. Drawing parallels to the loneliness epidemic, Pastor Will emphasizes the importance of belonging and community, highlighting the biblical story of Mary Magdalene's encounter with Jesus after his resurrection. Mary's experience emphasizes the transformative power of hearing one's name spoken by Jesus and Pastor Will invites people to turn toward Jesus for belonging and hope. He concludes with a prayer for those who feel called to turn to Jesus and encourages them to take a step forward in faith.
