Episode Synopsis

Send us a textEver left a service thinking, I did the right thing by coming, and I still feel alone? We unpack that quiet ache and give it a name: community drift—the slow slide from being known and engaged to simply attending and consuming. Together we explore why belonging isn’t an optional add‑on but the core way discipleship actually forms us, drawing from the “one anothers” that shape a shared life with Jesus.We walk through five honest signs you might be drifting, from treating church like content to living off old stories of closeness. Then we trace the roots—church hurt that taught you to guard your heart, shame that hides when habits resurface, busyness that crowds out connection, individualism that sounds holy while isolating, and the subtle need for comfort and control. You’ll see how drift affects every part of you: the soul attaches to escape, the mind echoes untested stories, the body carries stress alone, and your calendar proves the slide.To move from default to design, we introduce the Circle of Connection: three practical circles to map your inner circle, shared walk, and casual community. You’ll identify gaps without shame and choose one concrete step in the next 7–14 days—text a trusted friend, rejoin a small group, unmute and engage, or serve where your gifts meet real needs. We wrap with simple reflection prompts and words to live by that help you trade audience for family and hiding for being known.If you’re tired of standing at the edges, this is your invitation back into a people who can spot what you can’t see, remind you of what you’ve forgotten, and carry you when you’re too tired to walk. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s drifting, and leave a review to help others find their way from attendance to belonging.Truth Be Told Project Podcast introduction Website: truthbetoldproject.com Catch Us on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@Truthbetold2You Go to the website to sign up for the monthly newsletter coming soon.
