Free Stuff Fridays (TGBC)

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by The Good Book Company . Enter to win 1 of 5 copies of Why We’re Feeling Lonely (And What We Can Do About It), and be encouraged by Shelby Abbott’s practical, biblical insights for young adults struggling with loneliness.

Shelby Abbott notes a sobering statistic: according to Forbes, 73% of young adults feel alone sometimes or always.

But Christians have a unique kind of opportunity to find genuine community and friendships. When you live life for Jesus, you have the ultimate comfort that he’s always alongside you. So why are young Christians still feeling lonely?

In this short, punchy book, Abbott explores specific reasons why many in Gen Z are fighting loneliness—even as Christians. Following four compelling diagnoses that fuel detachment, he unpacks a solution rooted in God’s design for relationships and community, including:

  • how a better grasp of the gospel gives you an authentic sense of self in a world of filtered digital identities
  • how gospel friendships are an antidote to porn use and to a casual attitude toward sex
  • how gospel empathy strengthens relationships in a culture of polarization and anger
  • how gospel involvement can help heal feelings of depression and anxiety

Enter to win one of five available copies of Why We’re Feeling Lonely (And What We Can Do About It).

    To the Parents Driving Home with an Empty Seat

    It’s the season when many parents are making the long journey home, and doing so alone. On the journey there, they had a child in the seat behind them, a child who was making his or her way to college for the first time. But now, as they make the journey back, the seat behind…
