The pandemic spotlighted the alarming rise of social disconnection and loneliness among today's college and university students.

Todd Hall, Founder and CEO of Flourishing Metrics and Professor of Psychology at Biola University, believes there is a direct correlation between our current state of spirituality and this human relationship crisis. He fears many biblical higher ed institutions are failing to impart relational knowledge to our leaders of tomorrow — and that oversight could have unintended consequences.
