(00:00:22): Then join author and life coach Tammy Kennington on From Hardship to Hope, (00:00:27): the podcast for Christian women navigating life through a faith-based lens. (00:00:32): If you need biblical support, encouragement, and actionable tips, this show is for you. (00:00:37): Welcome. (00:00:38): I'm your host, Tammy Kennington. (00:00:40): I'm so glad you've joined me for the first episode of season two. (00:00:45): Today, (00:00:45): and for the next several episodes, (00:00:48): we're going to discuss a topic that is often not one we grapple with regularly, (00:00:55): at least in public. (00:00:58): That is the topic of loneliness. (00:01:01): While it's not something we may always talk about, (00:01:03): it is something we'll all experience at some point in our lives. (00:01:07): And I would guess that most, if not all of us, have experienced it before. (00:01:12): Whether we are going through a tough season, (00:01:16): we're recently divorced or single, (00:01:19): or maybe just feeling disconnected from those around us, (00:01:22): loneliness can sneak up in unexpected ways. (00:01:26): But here's the good news. (00:01:27): Loneliness doesn't have to be something that we fear or avoid. (00:01:31): In fact, (00:01:32): it's something we can learn to navigate through faith, (00:01:35): just like many of the women and men we read about in the Bible and whose lives (00:01:40): we'll discuss throughout this series. (00:01:43): Let's first begin by defining what loneliness is, (00:01:47): understanding some of its characteristics, (00:01:49): and then exploring how we as Christian women can walk through loneliness with hope. (00:01:57): So what is loneliness? (00:01:58): Loneliness.
