    Even before sin entered the world, which separated us from God, there was something missing from our lives. The first obstacle for God was not sin, it was man's loneliness. Adam was never meant to be left alone in this world - so God created Eve as his companion.

    11:00 - Physically Alone and Crowded Loneliness

    11:45 - The first obstacle for God was not sin, it was man's loneliness

    13:00 - Loneliness impacts every age group

    15:30 - While social distancing, use technology to overcome the loneliness gap

    17:30 - The power of community us explained clearly in the book

    19:00 - We might learn some things from people in the Third-World
