Joseph Newton once stated, “People are lonely 
because they build walls instead of bridges.”

2
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:15,000
He makes an important point.

3
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:19,700
One way to combat loneliness is through purposefully 
connecting with people.

4
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:26,200
This may sound intimidating, but it’s a step 
toward fellowship with others that can strengthen 
your soul.

5
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:28,700
As Gretchen Rubin pointed out,

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,200
“It’s easier to make friends with someone 
if you see them often.

7
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:36,500
Even just showing up is a step toward relationships.”

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,200
If you’re not sure where to start, head over 
to a local church.

9
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:45,200
They will have events and groups available 
where you can connect with others.

10
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:50,600
Take that step toward fellowship today. I’m
