73 | An Honest Conversation About the "No New Friends" Mentality, Church Hurt, and Why Adult Friendships and Community Matter — with Chryssy Payne
Description
I'm back with part two of my conversation with sociology professor Chryssy Payne, and this time we’re going even deeper. In this episode, we unpack the “No New Friends” mentality and how it may be doing more harm than good—especially for those of us trying to build healthy, lasting adult friendships.
We also talk candidly about church hurt, the challenges of trusting again, and how to find your people - whether you’ve been burned before, are new to the area, or are simply out of practice. Chryssy brings her expertise as a sociologist and her lived experience to this honest and insightful conversation.
In this episode, we explore:
Why adult friendship and community are essential—not optional
How wisdom, discernment, and wise counsel can help you form healthy new connections
Practical ideas for re-engaging with others, even if you're feeling isolated
Whether you’re craving new connections or reevaluating old ones, this episode will encourage you to reflect and reconnect—with wisdom and hope.
