Be Vulnerable, Find Your People :: Jennie Allen [Ep 354]

Friendship isn’t something we are taught in school. We sort of fumble our way through the trial and error of how to make and keep friends.  Add in our culture of independence, where it can be hard to admit we need others, and lots of times it feels easier to just stay home and binge watch seasons of Friends rather than try to find some real life ones. In this episode, author and speaker Jennie Allen acknowledges that friendship is full of risk, riddled with awkwardness and yet completely worth it. Through her own journey of finding a core group of friends in a new city, she challenges us to enter into the awkward places to build the friendships we long to have.  Jennie Allen is a wife, mom, author, and speaker. She deeply believes God created us for relationship - first with him and then with others. Her newest book, Find Your People, is a tool-kit, a guide, an encouragement, and an honest look at why we really do need a village, and how we cultivate it in our lives.   Connect with Jennie Allen:  Website:  https://www.jennieallen.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jenniesallen  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/jennieallen/    Links Mentioned:    Find Your People Pre-Order Related Episodes Ep 232 Fighting Toxic Thoughts :: Jennie Allen Ep 350 Friendship is Hard :: Amy Weatherly & Jess Johnston Ep 321 Healing from Broken Friendships :: Shundria Riddick Ep 289 Strengthening our Friendships :: Susan Seay Ep 273 Navigating Friendships :: Melanie Shankle Ep 148 Overcoming Insecurity in Friendships :: Renee Swope Featured Sponsors:  Rothys: New customers get $20 off your first purchase at Rothys.com/DMA  HelloFresh: Go to HelloFresh.com/dma16 use the code: dma16 to get 16 free meals AND a free gift Prose: Take your free in-depth hair consultation and get 15% off your first order today!
