Is every finite, nondiscrete $T_0$ space connected?

Is every finite, nondiscrete $T_0$ space connected?
What I've tried is to find a separation and thus get a contradiction with the statement that the space is nondiscrete. After some time I've got lost in it. It seems so "picky".

    what about $X={a,b,c}$ with the topology ${emptyset,{a,b},{b},{c},X}$? The space is not discrete, ${a,b}$ and ${c}$ separate the space, but it is $T_0$

    @RyleeLyman You need ${b,c}$ too for a topology.

    Take any finite nondiscrete $T_0$ and add an isolated point to it.

Let $X={1,2,3}$ be endowed with topology $tau={varnothing,{2},{3},{1,2},{2,3},{1,2,3}}$.



Then $X$ is $T_0$ and e.g. ${3}$ is a non-trivial clopen set.
