Speaker: Jeff Jarvis
The search to find belonging can lead us down a lot of frustrating dead-ends. One common route these days has been called the “Echo Chamber”. That group or community that thinks, talks, perhaps looks, even believes much the same way we do. Ironically, researchers have found that as people have sorted into these kinds of homogeneous communities, that levels of loneliness and disconnection have actually increased. Why would that be? Wouldn’t there be less arguing, less misunderstanding, more harmony? What is it about being around people who are different than us that could result in deeper levels of community?
This Sunday, as we close out the final chapter of the “Soundtrack for the Soul” series, we’re going to highlight a hit from the Strumbrella’s called “We don’t know”. Looking for a deeper sense of belonging? Join us this Sunday at the gym.
