Friendship Files #5- Diversify your friend group
from The Habit Lab · host Jenna Zint
Ever notice how easy it is to curate a friend group that looks and thinks just like you? We’re flipping that script. I share how a single question about my guest list sparked a full rethink of community, why Jesus’ meals are the model for modern friendship, and how widening the table reshaped my heart more than any book, retreat, or productivity hack ever could.We unpack the shift from distant charity to real proximity—the kind that invites the widow, the single parent, the awkward talker, and the person with fewer resources into our actual routines. I talk candidly about the social cost of diversity, the temptation to protect “the vibe,” and the moment I realized people aren’t projects; they’re image-bearers worthy of attention, not just an invite. Expect practical language for humility, how to treat triggers as teachers, and simple ways to calm your nervous system so you can stay present without fixing, rescuing, or controlling.If you’ve been waiting for the perfect life-stage match before investing in friendship, it might be idealism keeping you lonely. Boundaries still matter, but love asks for a bigger table—one that looks less curated and more like the kingdom. You’ll leave with grounded questions to audit your circle, steps to invite difference into your week, and fresh courage to trade comfort for connection.
