YOUR OPINION MATTERS

We are more connected than ever, yet loneliness continues to rise. In this deeply honest conversation, Keith Spurgin shares why visibility is not the same as being known, how disconnection silently shapes our identity, and what it takes to move relationships from lifeless to vibrant.Keith opens up about his own journey from internal disconnection to meaningful connection, revealing the subtle ways we tolerate relational emptiness while our souls quietly starve. Together, we explore leadership, vulnerability, emotional health, and why relational fitness matters just as much as physical fitness.This episode is an invitation to slow down, tell the truth, and take the small courageous steps that lead to genuine connection.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Connection and Disconnection04:24 Understanding the Nature of Disconnection09:18 The Illusion of Digital Connection11:56 The Importance of Self-Leadership16:23 Signs of a Dying Relationship21:31 Tolerating Toxic Behaviors26:42 Personal Journey of Disconnection33:16 The Impact of Relational Health38:12 Creating Authentic Connections in Families and Churches42:40 Practical Steps to Build Connections45:59 Living a Truly Connected LifeEpisode TakeawaysWe are more technologically connected than ever, yet more relationally disconnectedReal relationships require risk, honesty, and vulnerabilityPeople admire accomplishments but connect through shared strugglesTolerating emotional neglect quietly erodes the soulPain often becomes the doorway to transformationThe quality of life is directly tied to the quality of relationshipsForgiveness is essential for healing and reconnectionAuthentic leadership creates space for authentic relationshipsAbout Keith SpurginKeith Spurgin is an author, international speaker, leadership coach, and President of Growth Resourcing Group, an organisation dedicated to helping leaders, pastors, and business owners lead with clarity, courage, and connection.He is the founder of New Hope Church in Wylie, Texas, and the author of Unknown: Finding Connection in a Disconnected World.
