Description
Your relationships are the key to a thriving life that satisfies your soul.
Don't settle for lonely.
Despite technology that allows for more connection than any previous generation, our culture is drowning in loneliness. Human beings are deeply relational, longing to be known, welcomed, encouraged, and connected. Yet most of us go through life lacking some of the key relationships we need in order to feel fulfilled. The answer to our loneliness problem is not found in the quantity of relationships, but rather in finding and growing five specific types of relationships, which make up a blueprint for belonging revealed in the life of Jesus.
Mining the Gospels for insight, pastor and author Alli Patterson unveils the five types of relationships, cultivated by Jesus, that you still need today:
· your core
· your circle
· your comrades
· your community
· your crowd
She guides you through a redesign of your own relational world according to this divine blueprint so you can discover authentic, restorative relationships within each of these types that will truly satisfy your soul.
"We all know what it is to feel lonely--but to understand the kind of lonely we feel and what to do about it? That's something very few of us ever figure out. But Alli Patterson has. In Blueprint for Belonging, Alli guides us through both the hardship and the hope of God's design for us to belong, and how each of us can find it."--Kadi Cole, leadership consultant, executive coach, and author of Developing Female Leaders.
