Investiere oder bleib einsam

2024/08/11 | Leo Bigger

Leo Bigger argues that “Investiere oder bleib einsam” confronts today’s loneliness epidemic: social media and instant gratification leave you isolated, but God designed community (Genesis 2:18). The early church lived together (Acts 2:46–47) because faith flourishes in relationship, not in isolation.

Practical takeaway: invest time, honesty and resources into real friendships—80–120 hours to build and maintain them. Do retreats, practice confession and mutual prayer (James 5:16), forgive like Jesus pursued Peter, and create shared rhythms (hospitality, small groups, service). Authentic community brings healing, accountability and fuels mission (Philippians 1:7).

Reflect and act: who are you investing in? Choose one concrete step this week—call someone, join a small group, or plan a retreat—and start trading loneliness for lasting connection.
