Are you feeling lonely, anxious, spiritually stuck—or like you’re carrying more than God ever intended you to?

In today’s episode, we explore the truth that you were never meant to do life alone. God designed the Church not as a building, but as a living, breathing family—the Body of Christ. When we step out of community, we become more vulnerable to spiritual attack, isolation, and discouragement.

We talk about:

• Why regular church involvement matters for your emotional and spiritual health
• What the Bible says the Church is—and what it’s not
• How to find a church where you can grow and be known
• My personal story from last Sunday when God met me in the middle of anxiety
• And how to start again if you’ve been hurt, overwhelmed, or disconnected

Scripture References:

• 1 Corinthians 12:27 – You are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
• Hebrews 10:24–25 – Let us not give up meeting together… but encouraging one another.
• Ephesians 4:11–13 – To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.
• Acts 2:42 – They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer.
• 1 Peter 5:8 – Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
• Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 – Two are better than one… pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
• John 13:34–35 – By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.

Key Takeaways:

• God places the lonely in families—and that starts with the Church.
• Disconnection from church can increase feelings of anxiety, stress, and spiritual confusion.
• The Church is not optional for spiritual growth—it is God’s design for healing, truth, and transformation.
• Even if you’ve been hurt or feel unsure where to begin, there is a place for you.
• Obedience often starts with simply showing up—again and again.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the same place — going in circles, facing detours, or walking a longer road than you expected? You’re not alone. In this episode of Curious for Christ, Alexandra explores how God uses those very detours and circles to strengthen your faith and shape you into the person He’s calling you to be, unshakable in your faith in Him. Remember, you belong to Him!

Through the story of the Israelites’ wilderness journey, we discover why the “long way” is actually part of God’s purposeful plan — to grow trust, build perseverance, and deepen your relationship with Him.

You’ll be encouraged to embrace your current season, trust God’s timing, and understand that even what feels like delay is part of your spiritual growth.

What You’ll Hear:

• Why life sometimes feels like a circle or detour — and how God is still moving in it
• Biblical insights from the Israelites’ 40 years in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 8:2, Exodus 13:17)
• How detours and delays develop perseverance and faith (Romans 5:3–4)
• Encouragement to trust God when progress feels slow or invisible (Philippians 1:6)
• A prayer to renew your courage and hope in God’s plan
