Deep discipleship is impossible without being known and knowing others deeply
Why You’re Lonely
A massive recent survey looked at how people spent their time with others over a lifespan [1]. The results were startling.
- After 30, we spend less than 40 mins per day with friends
- We spend almost 4x the amount of time with co-workers than friends
- We spend most of our lives alone
You were made for Connection
However, if you asked most of us what makes us happy, it’s our family and friends. Who’s going to get you the right milk for your coffee? Who’s going to support you through the stress of your new boss? Who’s going to cheer you on at your graduation, wedding, or new job?
Yup, it’s your family and friends. Why? Because you were made for connection. You were made to be part of a people you call family from a place you call home. By whom?
By your creator.
How this book can help you
This short booklet is about understanding that behind your desire for community, lies a God who is looking for you. A God that crafted you out of the dust of the earth, forming you in his image. He did not make you to be alone; he crafted you to be part of a people, filled with his presence and live in his place.
This is called shalom.
