Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

What do you do when you’re consumed with loneliness? How do you overcome those feelings of isolation? Chip begins this series with a message he calls, “How to Overcome Loneliness and Isolation.”
Until loneliness is understood, it overwhelms
Loneliness is MORE than being alone.
Loneliness WEARS many masks.
Loneliness is not a unique malady, but a UNIVERSAL REALITY.
*Resource: Changes that Heal by Henry Cloud
You don’t have to be lonely, because:
God CARES about your loneliness. -Gen 2:18
Jesus UNDERSTANDS your loneliness. -Mark 15:34
Jesus INVITES you into a relationship with Him. -Matt 11:28-30; Rev 3:20
A relationship with Jesus means you ALWAYS belong to His family. -Rom 12:5; 1 Jn 1:1-4
How can you experience authentic love and connection in God’s family?
By rethinking your view of the CHURCH.
By revising your approach to RELATIONSHIPS.
Realize your NEED.
Move toward OTHERS.
Be VULNERABLE.
Challenge distorted THINKING.
Take RISKS.
Be EMPATHETIC -- listen, listen, listen!
Trust GOD -- pray, pray, pray!
Summary: To “lick loneliness,” you gotta BELONG!
Informal steps + formal strategies = A “connected” community of love.

The Lord wants to strongly support you and you want to have a heart that is completely His. The question is: how do you know if your heart is fully devoted to God? Curious? In this message, Chip gives us the answer.

What if normal life for you consisted of major breakthroughs in destructive habits and behaviors? What if victories over anger and greed issues occurred on a regular basis? What if God were to use you to change your neighborhood or even your community? Chip asks the question, "What if breakthroughs like that were normal?" and shows us what that kind of life looks like.

Do you wish your neighborhood was safer? Or maybe that your kid's teacher wasn’t so anti-Christian. Or that you could reach the people you work with for Christ? What if God wanted you to be the one to lead the change? Where would you start? Chip explains how you can be the catalyst for positive, God-honoring change, in your neighborhood, school, or community.
How Jesus “reached” a city:
A lesson for His disciples -John 4
Where did the Breakthrough begin?
Whom did Jesus choose to use?
How did she “make room” for Breakthrough?
What “courageous step” did she take?
What did Jesus want His disciples to learn... about Himself? About breakthroughs?
Timeless axiom: Unlikely, supernatural breakthroughs are not dependent on aFUTURE work of God, but a PRESENT work of “one”. -John 4:34-39
How His followers “reached” the world:
A Lesson for Us -Book of Acts
Where did breakthrough begin?
Whom did Jesus choose to use?
How did they “make room” for breakthrough?
What “courageous steps” did they take?
What was/is the result?
What does Jesus want us to learn . . . about Himself? About ourselves? About breakthroughs?
Timeless axiom: Breakthroughs are fueled by COMPASSION and birthed in biblical COMMUNITY.
Action steps:
PRAY fervently and desperately.
EXTEND God’s compassion to someone or a group in need this week.
JOIN or START a small group to pursue breakthrough “in” you and then “through” you.
