Covid forced us into isolation and that meant losing out on many relationships.
Talking Points:
- Covid forced students to be isolated at home, detaching them from many of their friends. That physical separation ended many relationships.
- Relationships require intentionality. Even though some friendships were lost, new friendships can be made because everyone realizes how lonely they felt.
- If you’re feeling lonely, reach out to even just one person and make a connection. Be brave and take a step to reach out. Comfort doesn’t usually lead to growth.
Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- Share your experience with life during Covid and after. What was hardest for you?
- How did your friendships change over the last year and a half? Why did you lose contact with some and not others?
- What does it look like for you to be intentional with your friends? How do you want friends to be intentional with you?
- On a scale from 1-10, how lonely have/do you feel? What are a few things you could do to reach out to others?
- Read 1 Thessalonians 5:11 and Ecclesiastes 4:10. What do these verses say about friendship? What will you do to be a better friend? What will you do to push yourself out of your comfort zone?
- Is there a step you need to take based on today’s topic?
