Why We're Feeling Lonely - with Shelby Abbott
Recorded 5 September 2026.
We live in the most connected age in history—and yet more and more people are quietly carrying the ache of loneliness. Why is that? And what does the gospel have to say about it?
In this special event, we’ll hear from author, speaker, and campus minister Shelby Abbott, whose new book Why We’re Feeling Lonely (and What We Can Do About It) explores why loneliness has become such a defining experience for so many people today—even within the church. Drawing on years of ministry experience, Shelby helps uncover some of the hidden forces shaping our relational lives and points us toward the kind of deep, cross-related friendships and community that God designed us for.
Join us online as Shelby shares insights from his new book, followed by an extended time of live Q&A, giving you the chance to ask your own questions about loneliness, friendship, and meaningful Christian community.
