In this episode, Pastor Craig McCourt reflects on National Cheer Up the Lonely Day through a confessional Lutheran lens. He explores biblical promises—Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 68:6, and Hebrews 13:5—and shares a vivid illustration of Christ as a bridge over loneliness. Pastor John Niebuhr joins for an interview on modern loneliness, the unique challenges pastors face, and practical church responses. Listeners are challenged to identify someone in their life who feels isolated and take a simple step toward genuine Christian community.

In this episode of The Pondering God Podcast, Pastor Craig McCourt reflects on Jesus’ simple yet powerful summary of God’s law: Love God. Love Neighbor. With warmth, humor, and plenty of stories—including riding shotgun with chickens and pigs in Houston—Pastor Craig shows how this straightforward command can simplify and strengthen our spiritual walk. You’ll gain three spiritual benefits of a love-focused life and be challenged to carry this truth into every corner of your day. Don’t miss the donkey in the bathtub.
