Host: Steve Macchia, Co-Host: Matt Scott "Solitude and silence are a gift when experienced together. And when they are practiced within a community, they can become a place of significant growth and maturation." - Steve Macchia Many people find solitude uncomfortable. The idea of being alone with our own thoughts can feel overwhelming—even daunting. Yet solitude is not the same as loneliness. In this episode of The Discerning Leader Podcast, we explore how solitude invites us into a cadence of reflective and responsive living. Rather than isolating us, this practice creates space for deeper awareness, clarity, and attentiveness.The gifts of solitude include a deepened love for God and a renewed love for others. As we practice solitude, we discover how to be alone without feeling lonely. Also, here's the companion reflection guide and spiritual exercise to help you enter into stillness and silence this season of Advent.  Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings.

In today's Daily Shift, we explore emotional loneliness — the experience of feeling unseen or disconnected even when you're surrounded by others. Emotional loneliness often develops when, earlier in life, your feelings weren't consistently acknowledged or emotionally met. Over time, connection can become tied to roles, performance, or caretaking rather than being valued for who you are. This short episode offers gentle awareness around emotional loneliness and invites reflection without judgment. Feeling lonely in relationships isn't a personal failure — it's a signal pointing toward the kind of connection your nervous system is longing for. In this episode, you'll reflect on: What emotional loneliness is and how it develops Why you can feel disconnected even in relationships The difference between attention and emotional attunement

The shepherds were nobodies. Unseen. Uninvited. And yet they're the first ones God sends the birth announcement to. Mark Swarner, our Menlo Park Campus Pastor, delivers a message speaks directly to those who feel left out, overlooked, or disconnected. SEE YOU AT CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICES!

#243

This Christmas message reflects on the astonishing truth that Jesus is the great “I AM”—the eternal God who took on human flesh so that all creation might be restored. Drawing from the stories of the wise men and the shepherds, the sermon shows how God revealed Himself both to the highest minds and the lowest of society, not because of status, but because of open hearts ready to receive Him. The star led the magi only so far; it was Scripture that brought them fully to Christ, reminding us that passion, intellect, and nature alone are not enough without God's revealed truth. Both the wise men and the shepherds were changed by their encounter with Jesus, giving Him their worship and returning home transformed. The good news of Christmas is that none of us is too high or too low to need a Savior, and when we fully give ourselves to Christ, He fills us with His life and joy.

Christmas is often portrayed as a season filled with joy, family, and celebration—but for many, it can also be one of the loneliest times of the year. Loss, distance from loved ones, illness, or isolation can magnify feelings of loneliness during the holidays. Scripture reminds us that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and tenderly cares for those who feel crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). In this season, God not only comforts the lonely through His presence, but He also invites His people to reflect His love by seeking out those who feel forgotten and offering them genuine community. Main Takeaways You’ll learn why the holiday season can intensify feelings of loneliness for many people. Discover how God’s presence brings comfort to the brokenhearted and those who feel unseen. Understand why loneliness is something believers are called to address with compassion and action. Reflect on practical ways to include and care for those who may spend Christmas alone. Be encouraged to live out Christ’s love by becoming His hands and feet during the holidays.

Henry David Thoreau described a city as a place where many people are “lonesome together.” Those words have the ring of truth. In my youth, songs like “Mr. Lonely,” “Only the Lonely,” and “Eleanor Rigby” focused on isolation and loneliness. In recent years the pandemic was one of the most isolating seasons the world has known. And social media can feed that loneliness, giving us connection without relationship. Perhaps loneliness is the new pandemic. As Matthew shared the story of the birth of Jesus (1:18-25), he told us, “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet [Isaiah]: ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel’ (which means ‘God with us’” (vv. 22-23). Ponder that for a moment. God with us! As believers in Jesus, we’re never alone. We’ve been born again into the family of Christ, a family that spans the globe and the ages. The apostle Paul said, “You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household” (Ephesians 2:19). We’re loved by the ever-present God, who said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). Whatever you’re facing today, your heavenly Father is present with you. Allow Him to help you as you step into life’s uncertainties and challenges. He’s with you.

Today's Song of the Day is “If She's Lonely” by John Hollier & The Rêverie.

Winter is the deep dive into the void. It seems empty. Lonely even. But this is the season where everything is born. The Winter Solstice is the darkest night. It's time to start our return to the light. In this episode, we are closing down the year with honor to the light, in reverence to the fruitful darkness. The necessary spaces of stillness and emptiness. When there is nowhere to go and nothing else to be done. Can you stay? Can you tend the hearth? Can you chop wood and carry water when the party is over?

We are deeply relational people, longing to be connected and known. That's how we were created! Yet despite having endless ways to connect these days, loneliness is on the rise. So today on the 4:13, author Alli Patterson addresses the loneliness epidemic and breaks down how you can build relationships that actually nourish your soul! But here's the best part…  Alli went straight to God's Word to learn what the Gospels reveal about Jesus and His relationships. And what she discovered is fascinating! She'll walk you through the five essential relationship types Jesus built during His ministry—from His inner circle to the big crowds—and show you why each one matters. You'll see how Jesus intentionally cultivated His relationships and how those same relational rhythms can transform our lives today. So, if you've been craving deeper, healthier relationships, get ready! This conversation is rich with insight and will give you a practical blueprint to begin.

Episode 357: Have you ever tried to share a vision with someone, painted the picture so clearly, gotten all excited about it... only to watch it fall completely flat? Like you're speaking a different language? In this episode, I share a quote from the Law of Attraction that completely changed how I see leadership and belief: "You cannot see beyond the vibrational limits of where you are standing. You cannot live or see or experience outside of your own individual beliefs." This explains SO much: ✅ Why some people "get it" immediately while others look at you like you're crazy ✅ Why the same book feels completely different when you read it at different life stages ✅ Why being a leader can feel incredibly lonely ✅ Why we keep trying to "convince" people instead of just being in our belief The real work isn't convincing anyone. The real work is learning to HOLD your belief in your own body without needing external validation. If you've ever felt like your vision is "too big" or wondered why people don't get as excited as you do... this one's for you.

Loneliness in grief doesn't always look like being alone — sometimes it shows up surrounded by people, sitting at full tables, yet feeling unseen inside your ache. This Advent conversation speaks directly to that quiet loneliness many moms carry, especially during the holidays. In this episode, I reflect on Mary's lonely journey into Bethlehem and how her experience reveals a tender truth about grief: God can be present… and the road can still feel isolating. In this episode, you'll discover… Why loneliness doesn't mean God is absent How Mary's birth story mirrors the unseen ache of grief Why feeling misunderstood doesn't signal weak faith What helps when your heart longs to be truly seen If this season feels heavy and lonely, this gentle reflection is here to remind you — you are known, held, and never overlooked by heaven.

When we are feeling our weakness, we naturally want to numb ourselves or find a little escape. Jesus is the only One who keeps us from being blown around by the winds of this life.Homily for Gaudete Sunday, Year A 2025

ATTRIBUTION NOTE: This is NOT an original episode. This is a complete episode of The Ezra Klein Show that I'm posting here, with a note from me at the beginning.Original episode can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-relationships-would-you-want-if-you-believed-they/id1548604447?i=1000644331040What follows is my own reasons for posting this:---We are at a crossroads in our cultures and societies worldwide.In many places, social networks are in tatters. Mental health is abysmal in spots without tight-knit communities -- which, let's face it, is a growing number of places. The nuclear family paradigm has dominated over the past 50-75 years, but does it work?Evidence suggests otherwise.Single adults living alone are so lonely they often experience significant anxiety & depression. Parents are stressed and overwhelmed, with children taking up so much energy and attention that it's hard to connect as a couple (including sex! and other kinds of intimacy). And older adults are either aging alone, or in environments that sap their vitality.Studies show that trends around social isolation hit men particularly hard. According to Gallup, for example, "[Young men in the US] are significantly more likely than their female peers to experience deaths of despair."And: "Americans who experience daily loneliness are significantly less likely to report smiling or laughing ... They are also half as likely to be classified as 'thriving' in life."Let's review that: Lonely people are HALF as likely to be classified as thriving. And what happens when you're not thriving? You're almost always not having great sex, wonderful intimate relationships, or a satisfying love life.So what do we do about this? How do we "fix" the loneliness epidemic?This is the first episode in a series that I will be doing on creative solutions and innovative ideas around not just how we think about relationships, but how we think about living. I don't mean that metaphorically, either; I mean our literal living environments.We've lived separately for too long. I believe it's time to bring the generations back together in meaningful ways, and have more FUN at home.---Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

How do you handle holiday triggers without alcohol when every gathering feels like a test? The clinking glasses, "just one won't hurt" comments, and family dynamics can overwhelm anyone navigating an alcohol-free holiday season. Coach Zoe has a game-changing perspective: triggers aren't your enemy—they're messengers pointing to what you actually need. In this powerful Joy Edit episode, you'll discover the brain science behind holiday triggers and learn Annie Grace's visualization technique for preparing your nervous system before challenging situations. Instead of white-knuckling through parties, you'll explore practical tools like "curiosity goggles," the ACT method (Awareness, Clarity, Turnaround), and trigger mapping. Coach Zoe breaks down the most common holiday triggers—from party pressure to family flashbacks—and reveals the unmet needs hiding beneath each one. You'll learn why willpower crashes, but awareness builds lasting change, how to make "tonight commitments" instead of overwhelming forever promises, and simple regulation techniques like HALT checks (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and anchor gestures. Transform your holiday one breath at a time, and create the life you don't want to escape. Coach Zoe is sharing: How to handle holiday triggers without alcohol by treating them as information, not evidence that you're failing Why “curiosity goggles” can shift you from reactive to responsive at parties and family events The difference between willpower and awareness, and why collecting evidence you can trust yourself matters How visualization, “tonight I choose…” commitments, and experimentation reduce pressure and increase freedom A science-backed look at stress, alcohol's brain chemistry, and mindful ways to soothe your nervous system The ACT tool (Awareness, Clarity, Turnaround) and how to build a personalized holiday trigger map Practicing response instead of reaction so your wise inner adult—not old patterns—leads the way How these grace-first tools help you stay present, protect your peace, and more topics… Episode links: nakedmindpath.com Related Episodes: Cravings & Triggers: What Exactly Are They And How Do You Deal With Them? - Reader Question - E36 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-36-reader-question-cravings-triggers-what-exactly-are-they-and-how-do-you-deal-with-them/ Effective Strategies for Setting Boundaries with Family - Reader Question - E622 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-620-readers-question-effective-strategies-for-setting-boundaries-with-family/ Getting Past Emotional Drinking Triggers - Reader Question - E616 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-616-readers-question-getting-past-emotional-drinking-triggers/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?  Visit https://learn.thisnakedmind.com/podcast-resources for free resources, programs, and more.
