  • #430 The Loneliness Epidemic: Why Are Christians Feeling More Isolated?

    #430 The Loneliness Epidemic: Why Are Christians Feeling More Isolated?
    Feb 5 2025

    Today, we’re doing something a little different! For the first time ever on the show, I’m sharing a sermon I preached at my church over a year ago. Now, before you think, Oh no, a sermon?- stick with me. Over the last couple of years, I’ve received countless messages from listeners who are feeling isolated, lonely, and disconnected. And I think this message is incredibly timely.

    The loneliness epidemic is real, and it’s affecting so many of us, especially in the wake of declining church attendance and increasing feelings of disconnection. In this sermon, I dive deep into what the Bible says about loneliness and how the church can be a source of support and community for those feeling alone.

    So, whether you're currently struggling with isolation, have stepped away from the church, or are curious about what the Bible says on the topic, I hope this message resonates with you!


    4:22 – Introduction

    • 1 Corinthians 12
    • Issues the Corinthian church faced
    • Paul’s message to the church


    13:15 – Every Gift Matters: Serving In The Body Of Christ

    • The church is the body of Christ
    • 1 Peter 4:10
    • Being good stewards of our gifts
    • There is no hierarchy of gifts


    24:26 – The Pandemic Of Loneliness

    • 50% of American adults feel lonely
    • The role of community in overcoming loneliness
    • We can be lonely with God


    35:14 – Love in Action: Building a Stronger Community Through God’s Love

    • Community is a byproduct of love
    • Being intentional alongside others
    • Ministering to someone else


    FEATURED QUOTES

    “The church cannot and should not be established on the charisma or the personality or the giftings of any one person. The church is to be built on the foundation of Jesus Christ.”

    “Some gifts may bear more responsibility and consequences than others, but you have gifts, and those gifts matter.”

    “We create these dividing lines between us based on our gifts or our roles or status or economics or whatever. And those lines are unbiblical, they're unnecessary, and they lead to chaos.”

    “Our primary goal must be the love of and pursuit of Jesus, who is the lifeblood of the body.”

  • #428 How to Handle Rejection with Tabitha Panariso

    #428 How to Handle Rejection with Tabitha Panariso
    Jan 22 2025
    This week, I’m joined by the lovely Tabitha Panariso. She is a licensed professional counselor, writer, speaker, and theologian, who brings counseling into the everyday fabric of life. She’s also the author of Loyal in His Love: An Invitation to Be Held by Jesus When Others Let You Go. At the heart of Tabitha’s work is a commitment to creating space for life's toughest moments and guiding others toward healing with clarity and compassion. We dive into everything today from the plots of Seinfeld to the ways we experience and process rejection- both as adults and as parents helping our kids cope with it. This is exactly the type of conversation I love having on this show, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it just as much! 2:08 – Tabitha 101 • Wife and mom • Christ-centered and trauma-informed therapist • A new author • Bonding over Seinfeld 14:13 – Redefining Acceptance • The emotional and spiritual toll of rejection • How social media can amplify feelings of rejection • A defining moment of acceptance for Tabitha • God’s unwavering love and faithfulness 23:09 – Healing Through Christ’s Compassion • Receiving the compassion that Christ has given us • Naming the pain and emotions you experience • Allowing ourselves to be dependent on God 37:24 – Modeling Faith For Your Children • How practicing self-awareness extends to parenting • Offering children a safe place • Pointing your kids to Christ over and over again • Getting your copy of Tabitha’s book FEATURED QUOTES “It's important for us to name our pain, name our feelings, because it's just like when we break a bone or when we are physically hurt- if we aren't able to acknowledge that pain, then it's only going to exasperate, it's only going to fester.” “When we can lament, when we can grieve, when we can name what's happening in us, that's us re-posturing our hearts and allowing us to be dependent on God.” “Reminding our kids where their true value lies and where their true worth lies- that is the greatest gift that we can give them.” Learn more about Tabitha: Get your copy of Loyal in His Love https://www.amazon.com/Loyal-His-Love-Invitation-Others-ebook/dp/B0CTHR9FCD Tabitha on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tabithapanariso/ Tabitha on Substack https://substack.com/@tabithapanariso Tabitha on Threads https://www.threads.net/@tabithapanariso Connect with me: http://www.stillbeingmolly.com http://instagram.com/stillbeingmolly http://instagram.com/canilaughpod http://twitter.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/canilaughpod http://tiktok.com/@stillbeingmolly GET YOUR COPY of ‘IF I DON’T LAUGH, I’LL CRY” TODAY: Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/IIDLICbn Amazon: https://amzn.to/48VYFkG ChristianBook: https://bit.ly/IIDLICcb Target: https://bit.ly/3Shh3Q2 Walmart: https://bit.ly/3MmGVpJ Indie Bound: https://bit.ly/IIDLICib Audible: https://amzn.to/3ITcdm8 Kindle: https://amzn.to/3ITaSvv About Can I Laugh On Your Shoulder?
