This week, host Jeff Lawrence addresses the rarely talked-about epidemic of loneliness. His guest is the president of New Missions and author Tim DeTellis.

Jeff and Time explore the possible causes of loneliness, such as a changing culture, technology, and the loss of interdependency on our communities. They also discuss potential solutions to overcome loneliness and what we can do to create a sense of community.

Tim advocates for National Good Neighbor Day, a movement to promote unity and togetherness by helping individuals practice the good neighbor mindset. An author of nine books, he travels frequently and speaks nationwide. Tim spoke for TEDx Eustis on 1/17/2020 and shared his talk titled: “Are you a good neighbor?” Tim enjoys bike rides around his neighborhood and playing the piano for fun.
