Why are we so lonely? Out of all the existing generations, Gen Z is considered the loneliest. As we are made in the image of God, we bear His likeness. God is driven by relationship, therefore, we are too! We are created to be with people. The Enemy has tried to destroy this plan by isolating us which causes and perpetuates feelings of loneliness. Isolation is not only a physical phenomenon, but also mental, emotional and spiritual. Loneliness can tie into confusion of not knowing where you are and what you’re doing. Join Susan Obi as she discusses with Pate all things concerning loneliness and depression.
