Summary
You had me at hello, Jennie Allen!
Too much?
Probably so, but let’s just stop right now and say that our conversation today on friendship (and the lies surrounding it) is amazing. Coming from a place of starting over in her own world, Jennie shares what she now knows about friendships and what they are, what they aren’t, and what impedes us from the God-given deep connection we so desperately need.
Here are some of the great topics we discuss when it comes to finding your people:
- The different roles our friendships play
- What to look for in friends
- Putting yourself out there
- Choosing a fire pit over Netflix
- Noticing who is already around you
- Decisions in our careers, neighborhoods, and family that impacts friendships
Jennie’s book is out this week and you need a copy!
Don’t miss this much-needed conversation on the importance of our friendships and reminders that finding community is not impossible with a little bit of intentionality.

| 0:03.5 | This is Cynthia Yanov, and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.1 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk |
| 0:26.1 | the parenting road alone. Hey guys, welcome to Parton the Mus and Cynthia. Glad you're here. We are in a |
| 0:35.3 | series of talking out lies that we believe. And we've had Louis Giglio, |
| 0:40.2 | we've had Jim Denison, and whatever. I mean, we just have Jenny Allen today. I'm kidding. I'm a little |
| 0:45.0 | giddy. She's awesome. And you guys, she has a new book out called Find Your People releasing this |
| 0:50.7 | week. You've got to get a copy. I was reading it to get ready for the interview, just |
| 0:55.0 | kind of scanning it. And then I was so engrossed and I loved so much of it talking out the |
| 0:59.4 | importance of our friendships, how to make new friends, why we need community, why we're lonely. |
| 1:04.8 | I love it so much that I ordered copies for four of my best friends because I wanted them to have |
| 1:09.2 | a copy and just know how much I appreciate them, but also that it matters. Friendship matters. It's important. And so today we're talking |
| 1:15.9 | about it. And not only is it going to help you in your own personal life, but it's going to help |
| 1:19.5 | you as you think forward in your kids and their friends and how they develop friendships. And so |
| 1:24.5 | it just scratches all the itches you could have as it relates to |
| 1:28.2 | community. So I'm thrilled she's here. I won't say anything else because I want you to listen |
| 1:33.0 | to every second with Jenny Allen. Hey Jenny. Welcome back to Pardon the Mess. How are you? |
| 1:41.6 | Thank you for having me, Cynthia. This is fun. |
| 1:51.8 | Well, it's so fun. We only live like 15 minutes apart, but nonetheless, we're over a screen, so it's a little odd, but this is the good way to do it. |
| 2:03.6 | It is. We had fun last time, though. We got to drive around and hang out in your car. That was pretty awesome. With our friend Kay Wyma, that was so fun. But I'm just excited to hear because we're talking out lies right now, |
| 2:04.8 | lies that we believe as Christians. |
| 2:08.1 | And so we had your buddy Louis Giglio on here, |
