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

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Friends</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">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. </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">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,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find Your People</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 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.  </span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Jennie Allen: </span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Website: </span> <a href= "https://www.jennieallen.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.jennieallen.com/</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Facebook:</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/jenniesallen"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.facebook.com/jenniesallen</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram: </span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/jennieallen/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instag
