In this episode of UpNext with Tommy Lee, we chat with Pastor Steve DeWitt, Senior Pastor at Bethel Church in Crown Point, Indiana. We talk about his experience as a pastor, and the inspiration behind his book 'Loneliness: Don't Hate it or Waste it. Redeem it.' Steve expounds on the concept of loneliness and how it doesn’t have to be our enemy. It can be the path God uses for our souls to experience the presence, promises, and power of Jesus Christ. Steve also emphasizes the importance of authentic relationships, the connection between loneliness and leadership, and the role of the gospel in addressing loneliness.
