Episode Details

We’re using the next several weeks to release some of the “best of” Pardon the Mess interviews. With over 300 episodes and lots of new listeners, we don’t want any of you to miss a thing. 

Today we’re re-releasing our conversation with Jennie Allen on the lies we believe about friendships.

Jennie shares what she now knows about friendships, what they are, what they aren’t, and what impedes us from the God-given deep connection we so desperately need.

Here are some of the great topics we discuss when it comes to finding your people:

• The different roles our friendships play 
• What to look for in friends 
• Putting yourself out there 
• Choosing a fire pit over Netflix  
• Noticing who is already around you 
• Decisions in our careers, neighborhoods, and family that impacts friendships 

Don’t miss this much-needed conversation on the importance of our friendships and reminders that finding community is not impossible with a little bit of intentionality.
