Intimacy vs. Isolation: Young Adults, Loneliness, and Real Community (with Christian Counselor Mike Kerstetter)

Why are so many young adults feeling lonely, anxious, and burned out in the most “connected” generation ever? In this episode of the Young Adults Today Podcast, Josiah sits down with Christian counselor Mike Kerstetter to talk about the friendship crisis, the loss of third spaces, and the mental health warning lights that leaders and young adults can’t afford to ignore.

They unpack how intimacy vs. isolation shapes young adulthood, why AI can’t replace real relationships, how pastors and leaders can spot burnout before the “engine blows,” and why slowing down might be the most spiritual thing you do this year. This conversation is packed with language you can use with your team, your church, and your small group.
