Have you struggled to make friends? Or keep them? 

Whatever your experience has been, we were all designed for community. We all want to feel connected. Thankfully, God does not leave us on our own to figure out the ins and outs of friendship. While there may be seasons in which the relationships in our lives ebb and flow, God desires that we journey through life with the companionship of friends, for we were created for relationships. 

Craving Community | How the Gospel Helps You Cultivate Faithful Friendships was written to equip you with truth from Scripture that will shape the way you approach and navigate friendship. Through this four-week study, we will discover God’s design for friendships, how to make them, and how to sustain them.

Amazing study to do alone or with a group.

I bought this study the day it was posted! I invited two other women to do it with me who had expressed the same feelings about wanting better or deeper friendships with others. I knew it would lead to a friendship with one another but also the tools to use in other friendships. There w were so many lessons where I felt like I highlighted the whole page. I felt so much conviction in some areas and joy in others knowing I at least had a few things right ha! I cannot wait to use the tools I've learned

Understanding my friendship

I began Craving Community at a time when I was so desperate for relationships, especially those that went beyond the surface. In fact, I am writing this only after completing the first week. I was eager to start upon learning that it would begin by talking about a friendship with Christ, only to be left with more questions as to what makes us friends. The reasons outlined talks about faith being a reason and the example Jesus showed us as a friend. Again, I am left with just knowing that we are friends instead of understanding in my heart what makes us friends. That could also very well be where I am in life and maybe I just need to redefine my friendship with Christ and accept that it will look different than the picture in my head. Maybe I need to find peace with how our friendship looks for me. But, if nothing else, I have and will continue to ask myself the deeper questions, trying to pull back the layers to get a better understanding of my friendship with Christ and what makes us friends. For that reason alone, it’s a win!

Ruth

I have enjoyed this study so much. Ruth is one of my favorite bible stories and it comes alive with the Daily Grace Study. I love the thought provoking questions.

Hi Ruth, we're so glad to hear you enjoyed the study and found it thought-provoking! Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

I am loving this Bible Study. At 73, I am lonely and searching for a few female friends. This study is helping me better understand why I am in this season of my life and drawing me closer to Jesus. He is helping me uncover this unknown; I’m looking forward to seeing who he brings into my life.

Impossible. Horrible purchase experience.

First, I ordered the book that my church said to- never came. Looking into it a week before the study starts - it says it's the teacher kit - weird. No. I wanted the book but ok how do I get it? Download app. Make account. Can't find book. Go to website. Account doesn't work on website.... literally every single step of this process is the worst. If you sent me the wrong thing, send me a link to read it on my Kindle! Who is asking for a PDF thing code that is non-existent. Why would I want a digital teacher guide? I ordered the book. A hard copy book. Not a digital. Just make it a reasonable price on Amazon! Please simplify. I'm in my 30s with a college degree...I can only imagine the amount of other people that would also be put off.

Jesus + friendship = amazing!

This study really provides a beautiful and refreshing perspective on earthly friendships and how the foundation ties back to God and our relationship with Him. A great reminder for those still seeking their community here in earth, or for a community to do together to grow closer to God while building your relationships together too

Craving Community is Exactly what our Women’s Bible Study Needs

Craving Community Study Book, the facilitators use of the Leader’s Guide and sharing the videos will hopefully be engaging, stimulates the mind and soul and gets everyone thinking and sharing. We, as a group, want to practice what we will be learning about fellowship, community, relationships and spreading joy and love through our church’s community. Our intentionality is key and this study is wonderfully made in that we can learn how and why God intends us to use our purposes for His will by developing and nurturing the community we gather and want to gather. Can’t wait to start it with our group of 17 women.
