The New Loneliness: Finding Connection in an Isolated World

In this heartfelt conversation, Rhonda Stoppe welcomes her dear friend and mentor, award-winning author Cindi McMenamin, to discuss her timely new book The New Loneliness: Nurturing Meaningful Connections When You Feel Isolated.

Whether you're a pastor's wife feeling the unique isolation of ministry, someone navigating a failed friendship, or simply wondering why you feel so alone in our hyper-connected world, this episode offers profound hope and practical wisdom.

Cindi and Rhonda explore:

  • The loneliness epidemic and how post-COVID habits have isolated us without our realizing it
  • Why technology makes us feel more connected but leaves us lonelier than ever
  • How to heal from betrayed or failed friendships with biblical grace
  • Walking through health scares, diagnoses, and unanswered prayers while trusting God
  • The power of Titus 2 relationships and finding "your people"
  • Practical steps to sense God's presence when you feel He's far away
  • Why choosing faces over screens can transform your relationships

With vulnerability and authenticity, Cindi shares her own journey through a cancer scare, friendship struggles, and seasons of profound loneliness—revealing how God draws us closer in our most isolated moments. This conversation will minister to your heart whether you're in a difficult season right now or want to help someone who is.

Perfect for: Women in ministry, those feeling isolated, anyone recovering from broken relationships, or those seeking to build meaningful community in a distracted world.
