Something that I have often struggled with as an adult is making new friends. It’s easier when you’re younger and in school. You see your classmates every day or kids from youth group each week. You’re given opportunities to interact and see if there is someone kind of like you that you could be friends with. Talk with. Hang out with.
But as an adult, time for friendships seems more limited. While we, of course, have others at church or Bible study we can turn to for fellowship and prayer, it still feels hard sometimes to find those to simply do life with.
And so we feel lonely. Left out. Like we don’t belong.
And that is part of what drew me to Sarah Westfall’s book, The Way of Belonging.
Sarah has so beautifully written about this feeling of loneliness and how to find a way to belong—or, rather, to make space for others to feel welcome and safe.
Imagine you’re sitting down with us as we ask some honest questions about what it looks like to live in community with others.
