Nagmahal. Nasaktan. Nawala bigla.
In this episode of your favorite background noise, Lennon and Russel dive into the painful but common experience of ghosting—when someone suddenly cuts off communication without explanation. Whether romantic, friendly, or even within Church communities, ghosting leaves people confused and hurting.

With humor, honesty, and spiritual insight, the duo explores:

  • Why people ghost (and why it hurts so much)

  • Biblical and theological reflections on abandonment and silence

  • What to do if you were the one who ghosted

  • Steps toward healing and closure

  • The hope that God never ghosts us, even when people do

This is an episode for the left-on-read, the “seen-zoned,” the emotionally confused—and for anyone searching for clarity and closure in a world of sudden silences.

And, our fan favorite guest host, Doc Luke Brofar, makes his cameo "voice appearance" towards the end, kaya don't miss it!
