We have a new ministry at Hope: hello community podcast. Catherine Jura-- a Hope member and Community Health Educator--started the podcast because of the current epidemic of social isolation and loneliness being reported across the globe. In the US, one out of every two Americans says they are lonely. Physical and mental illness, as well as early death, can result from prolonged isolation and loneliness. Social connection and community are the healing factors for this epidemic.

Catherine will interview a diverse group of individuals who will share their journey on how they developed connection and community. Part of Hope’s Mission Statement and Core Values is “to bring God’s comfort.” If you find the podcasts helpful, please share the link to the hello community podcast with others. Together, let’s support each other to lives of social connection and community.
