There are many reasons that people fear being alone, but the biggest is that they are often not comfortable with themselves. This episode dives into the relationship between being alone versus the feeling of loneliness, and how we would often rather be in a relationship that isn't right for us than be alone with ourselves. Dr. Gwen shares some of the root causes of this loneliness and how it's often related to a lack of purpose in our lives, and we dive into the solitude of Adam and how God created Eve and man because love is meant to be given and received from that place of wholeness. We explore some signs of loneliness as compared with someone who is grounded in themselves and their solitude before Dr. Gwen shares some incredible advice on how to fill the void of loneliness with God's love instead of a romantic relationship that may be wrong for you. Finally, we are reminded that the Lord didn't create us just to be married or dating, He created us to immerse ourselves in our purpose and His love! Tune in to find out how He will bring the right people to you when you can be whole from the inside first and how to begin your journey of alone wholeness now. Thank you for joining!
