Staying Connected in Social Distancing

During this time of “social distancing,” God has provided incredible opportunities to stay connected to the body of Christ through the internet. Though the online world can be a dark place, God, in His infinite wisdom and power, can pierce the darkness with the truth and the light of Christ! Churches aren’t shutting down due to what’s happening around the world. Instead, they are still active through streaming online services, video calls, and internet resources. 

Aside from remaining committed to your local church during this time of social distancing, one way to continue stirring your affections for Christ and using the time we have at home wisely is to listen to truth and encouragement through podcasts. There are countless gospel-centered podcasts available, and it would be impossible to list them all. I do want to share some recent interviews I have been able to do with friends on various podcasts! I hope these interviews encourage you to trust the Lord during this time—and in every season of life. 

If there are other podcasts that strengthen your heart and spark your faith, comment and leave the link to them below to encourage others! Remember, there’s a plethora of information online. Choose wisely when you pick something to read or listen to, because what you fill your ears with will, in turn, impact the direction of your life. Commit to filling your ears with the truth that leads you to Jesus and full life in Him!
