Movement 5 of 12 · Days 122–152

Belonging

Church, friendship and loneliness, with warmth.

Faith was never meant to be a solo project, but belonging can be hard. Maybe you left a church, or you sit in one feeling like the odd one out, or asking for help makes you feel like a burden.

This movement is warm toward the church and honest about loneliness. It looks at friendship, being carried by others, and the welcome God offers before you've found your people.

From the devotionals

Families have always been made of people who are still growing up.

Day 125

Fishermen, a tax collector and a zealot walked the road with him, and there is still room beside them.

Day 143

A short hello on a quiet evening is a good place to begin.

Day 148

31 days
