Find Your People: Building Deep Community in a Lonely World

Product Information

Allen suggests five ingredients for the healthiest, strongest friendships: transparency, shared purpose, accountability, consistency, and proximity. during lockdown, when you couldn’t travel, I had to push myself way out of my comfort zone and do something about it.

Many of us will question if it is worth the effort, especially if we’ve been hurt before, and who among us hasn’t? Trusting your colleagues and being trustworthy means you’re certain everyone is pulling in the same direction. Back then, I was neck deep in parenting young kids as well as traveling a lot, speaking, and doing events with IF:Gathering, the ministry organization I lead. In an age when we’re tempted to believe deep and meaningful friendships are impossible, Find Your People is a timely, practical resource. Having people in my life that I can truly be myself around and accept me for me has been so freeing and allowed me to focus on other aspects of my life, rather than constantly worrying about trying to fit in.If you want to stop sharing your location, reinstall the Find My app and follow the steps to stop sharing your location. In Find Your People, my dear friend Jennie Allen shows us how to make true emotional connections with the right people so that our authentic relationships can be healthy for all. Choose Notifications to see when a person's location changes or to notify people that your location has changed.

For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel like I needed to try and fit in, or be anyone other than myself. My friend Curt, the neurorelational expert, said it this way: “Every newborn comes into this world looking for someone looking for her. Sidetracked Magazine – Sidetracked magazine hold a yearly ‘creators tour’ in which they showcase films from adventurers across the world. Social work not only allows you to support others, but, if you let it, it will take you on your own journey. As far as actively seeking those people out, do all the things you want to do and don't be afraid to go it alone, whether it is an event, an exhibition, a gig or even a film.Our relationships are exceptionally difficult because they involve two (or more) sinful people trying to get along.

If you start to realise that people are constantly bringing you down, then it’s ok to step away and distance yourself. There are a mix of local meet ups and group trips further afield, so it depends on what you’re looking for – though if you’re just starting out I’d suggest not committing to something big straight away. I should clarify: I had plenty of friends, but those friends and I all had very full lives, which meant that our interactions were erratic—and rare. You fill in your profile, including your course and interests, and the app will then work its magic and send you three possible friend matches every day.We are starving for community, meaning, and deeper, more life-giving relationships--and Jennie gives us the road map to actually get there. Meetup often has a lot of newcomers, so it can be a really good starting point, especially if you’re wanting to try your hand at something new.
