## Resource

After examining evidence-based studies about societal changes following the pandemic, Dr. Matt shifts his focus to the workplace and work relationships, faith and practice, and to the way people view life. Some researchers have called this the time of "The Great Detachment." People's priorities have changed. How has a lack of connection and commitment impacted local churches? Can Christians practice Christianity without community? Clinging to past-pandemic society and life may hinder ministries from being effective and faithful in post-pandemic realities.
