What happens when your friend group shrinks, or your season shifts and you’re suddenly craving connection? Author and military wife Kristen Strong joins us to talk about friendship as an adult—what makes it hard, how to find your people, and what to do when you’re in a lonely season.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why loneliness is more common than you think
  • Kristen’s personal “needy friend” journey and what she learned
  • The power of open up, show up, and pray up

  • Why hospitality doesn’t have to be fancy
  • How to make amends in friendship after overstepping
  • Encouragement for the woman who feels like friendship is “just not in the cards”
