“God meets people in their moments of vulnerability and suffering and transforms them. And what they get is friendship with God.” - Jason Gaboury What would happen if we met God in the midst of our isolation, loneliness, grief, and vulnerability? What if our loneliness became the context for a deeper life with God and greater compassion for others? As the global pandemic is affecting millions the world over, widespread loneliness is also impacting the lives of many - and for some, feelings of isolation, emptiness, and abandonment have devastating consequences. In this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael discusses the issue of loneliness with Jason Gaboury, whose brand new book titled, “Wait With Me: Meeting God in Loneliness” will help you understand that loneliness can be the avenue to empathize with Jesus. We’re thrilled to introduce you to Jason as his life mission is; to know God and to live, lead, and serve in a way that others are inspired to know God. He has served the ministry of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship since 1997, leading ministries on campuses in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn in the USA, as well as pioneering efforts with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students.
