Making friends as an adult isn’t always easy, especially if you’ve moved to a new town or entered a new stage of life. Sometimes the hardest part is simply overcoming the awkwardness of putting yourself out there!

6 Tips for Making Friends

After living in the same town for 30 years, my husband and I moved to a new town where we had to start building friendships all over again. In today’s episode of the Christian Habits Podcast, I share six tips I’ve been using to make new friends.

We’ll talk about how to find opportunities to meet people, how to overcome the reluctance to reach out, and why it’s important to keep trying even when things feel uncomfortable. I’ll also share how renewing your mind can help.
