Notes:

Our epidemic of loneliness and isolation has been an underappreciated public health crisis that has harmed individual and societal health.
- US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy

“You can feel lonely even if you have a lot of people around you, because loneliness is about the quality of your connections.”
- US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them.
- Mark 2:1-3

Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.
- Mark 2:3-4

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
- Mark 2:5

Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus.
- Luke 5:18

When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
- Luke 5:19-20

So He said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God.
- Luke 5:24-25

Being a neighbor is a 2-way street

Then He said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” Stay here and keep watch with me.
- Matthew 26:38

The depth of our relationships is directly tied to the depth of our honesty and vulnerability

Being a neighbor has a cost
Being a neighbor is a 2-way street
Being a neighbor means exclusion

While the epidemic of loneliness and isolation is widespread and has profound consequences for our individual and collective health and well-being, there is a medicine hiding in plain sight:

While the epidemic of loneliness and isolation is widespread and has profound consequences for our individual and collective health and well-being, there is a medicine hiding in plain sight: SOCIAL CONNECTION.
- US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy

Connection is when two or more people interact with each other and each person feels valued, seen, and heard.
There's no judgment, and you feel stronger and nourished after engaging with them.
