Listen "Why Presence Matters"
Episode Synopsis
This episode challenges the idea that online services are enough. While technology is a gift, nothing can replace the power of in-person presence. Acts describes believers gathering daily, sharing meals, and worshiping side by side. Modern research on human connection shows that face-to-face interaction releases oxytocin, strengthens bonds, and reduces stress in ways digital communication cannot. Watching church online may inspire, but it cannot hug you, pray with you, or hold your hand in times of need. The early church flourished not because they tuned in from afar, but because they shared life deeply and consistently. This episode encourages viewers to see online church as a supplement, not a substitute. True fellowship requires presence, vulnerability, and participation. When we gather physically, we experience God's presence in powerful ways and remind one another that we are not alone.
