You can't build the right community without understanding what you bring to it — and what you need from it. This week, Jennie helps you understand your own relational wiring.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Jennie encourages readers to identify the type of friend they are — the one who initiates, the one who deepens, the one who shows up in crisis, the one who celebrates, and so on. Without using the ideal answer, what kind of friend are you most naturally? What kind of friend do you find hardest to be?
2.She also invites readers to identify the types of friends they need — recognizing that not every friendship has to meet every need. Think about the full range of relational needs in your life right now. Who meets which needs? What needs are currently going unmet?
3.Jennie talks about how introverts and extroverts experience community differently — not that one is better, but that they refuel differently and are drained by different things. How does your personality type affect the way you pursue and experience friendship? Have you ever used 'I'm an introvert' as a reason to avoid community rather than a guide for how to pursue it differently?
