The “Am I the only one?” thought can hit out of nowhere and suddenly everything feels heavier: your problems feel bigger, your support feels smaller, and your hope starts shrinking. We’re back for season four from home (where our real conversations actually happen), celebrating 29 years of marriage, and jumping straight into the mindset that quietly trips up so many of us.

We anchor the conversation in Romans 11 and 1 Kings 19, where Elijah tells God he’s the only one left. God’s reply is both gentle and corrective: you’re not alone, and you’re not seeing the full picture. We talk about how exhaustion after a long fight can feed a victim mentality, how pride can sneak into “woe is me,” and why the enemy loves to get us viewing life through victimhood instead of victory. Then we look at God’s response, not with condemnation, but with a still small voice and clear next steps.

From there, we get practical: find an “Elisha” and pour into someone else, pray for God to open your eyes, and build the spiritual discipline of gratitude when the math looks bad. We also connect this to John 5 at the pool of Bethesda, where Jesus goes after an identity built on “I have no one.” If you’ve been feeling isolated, overlooked, or stuck, we think this will put strength back in your voice and clarity back in your vision.
