Hey, Shelby Abbott here. Are you tired of the tension and the division that exists in things like

your family gatherings and your friend groups and certainly on social media? I know I am. Well,

Psalm 133 tells us that it's good for believers to live in unity with one another. But in today's

kind of easily angered and often offended world,

that just feels impossible, doesn't it? It feels like wishful thinking. Well, that's why I'm excited to

invite you to join us here at Family Life for a five-week video series from our friend, author,

and comedian Amberly Niece. It's called Moving Toward each other in the

middle of a divisive world. And in it, Amberley just guides us through how to build peace

in our natural circles of influence when differing thoughts and opinions and beliefs

threaten to create division. So you can sign up right now by clicking on the link in the show notes

or heading over to familylife.com slash finding common ground. Again, you can sign up right now by clicking on the link in the show notes or heading over to

Familylife.com slash Finding Common Ground.

Again, you can download this five-week video series at family life.com slash finding common

ground or just click on the link in the show notes.

All right, let's get into the program.

We have to be realistic about life in a fallen, broken world, where the final flourishing

and fullness is yet to come. Loneliness is part of this fallen world. Someday we won't

feel lonely ever again. But here and now, it's going to be a part of the human experience.

Welcome to Family Life Today, where we want to help you pursue the relationships that matter most.

I'm Shelby Abbott, and your hosts are Dave and Ann Wilson.
