FamilyLife Today®

Some experiences don't just change your schedule. They change what bothers you, what matters to you, and what you can't stop thinking about afterward. On FamilyLife Today, Dave and Ann Wilson sit down with radio personalities Brant Hanson and Sherri Lynn to share a few moments that did exactly that. We're talking stories that challenged their assumptions, stretched their comfort zones, and changed the way they see people. From fear and anxiety to purpose and perspective, this conversation may leave you asking some different questions than the ones you brought with you.

A single Black woman. A married white guy with autism. A radio show that probably shouldn't work—but somehow does. Podcast hosts Brant Hanson and Sherri Lynn talk about unlikely friendships, honest feedback, and the kind of relationships that challenge your assumptions without turning into another argument. Because most of us like the idea of meaningful relationships, but fewer of us enjoy the awkwardness, honesty, and friction they require. Some lessons can only be learned shoulder to shoulder.

Most people don't wake up one day and decide to be lonely. It just happens one busy season, one move, one life transition at a time. Author Jennie Allen talks about finding your people when relationships feel harder to build and easier to lose.

Making friends as an adult is hard. Making friends after you've been hurt? Even harder. Besides, everyone's busy, tired, overscheduled, and heading home. Author Jennie Allen explores why meaningful relationships often get squeezed out by modern life—and why waiting for community to happen usually doesn't work. If your friendships feel stuck in the group-text stage, Jennie stands ready to talk candidly about disappointment, betrayal, and the temptation to stay guarded. After all, what if protecting yourself is also keeping you lonely?

You've got group texts, social feeds, work friends, church friends, and hundreds of contacts in your phone. So why does it still feel like nobody really knows you? Author Jennie Allen talks about the loneliness hiding in plain sight—and why Christian community takes more than proximity, good intentions, or another potluck.
