This is one of those studies that I wish I didn’t need. Here’s my confession. I’m a 64-year-old female, married 42 years, mother of five, member of Saddleback Church for 22 years, Christian for 60 years…and I’m lonely. Not a gut-wrenchingly-alone kind of lonely, but just wistful about not having a best friend, with a touch of vague guilt about not trying hard enough with the friends I have. For someone like me, Jennie Allen’s Find Your People is a whole heap of reassurance and hope. I’m not alone in feeling alone!

In the Find Your People video Bible study, bestselling author Jennie Allen looks at the original community in Genesis, the Trinity, and the creation of people to see what God had planned for us all along. Jennie offers practical solutions for creating true community in a world that's both more connected and more isolating than ever before.

Drawing on fascinating insights from science and history, timeless biblical truth, and vulnerable stories from her own life, Jennie helps us discover exactly how to dive into the deep end and experience the full wonder of community. Along the way, we’ll discover the five life patterns required to build deep, connected relationships.
