## Resource

Dr. Matt revisits COVID-19. The pandemic increased the speed at which some societal trends had been moving, such as declining mental health and skepticism about the credibility of institutions and authority. It also had the effect of strengthening and expanding the church's resolve toward gathering together. Mental health, authority, trust, gatherings, divisions, loneliness, and technology all relate to the changes ministries are facing in Appalachia.
