Author and pastor David Kim shares his experiences with loneliness
as a Korean American immigrant and delivers compelling research
about belonging that includes the revolutionary five anchors for
developing meaningful relationships. Even though we are connected
more than ever--through social media, video calls and texts, and
advanced travel opportunities--we're also drowning in loneliness
and isolation. As discipleship pastor of WestGate Church in Silicon
Valley, David Kim decided to research the reasons why--and
uncovered surprising answers. When Kim moved to America from South
Korea as a child, he experienced isolation during his school years.
Differences in language, food, and culture spiked an immense desire
for an accepting, supportive community. As an adult, he read widely
about belonging, and in his survey of more than 1,300 Christians,
he discovered that the number-one struggle shared by them is
loneliness. Left to ourselves, Kim says, we naturally drift away
from God and others, and we begin to believe the lies of the enemy:
You are all alone. No one else feels this way. No one cares about
you. How could they? God has abandoned you. You were just imagining
things before. In Made to Belong, Kim combats those lies with the
incredible hope found in the revolutionary Five Practices for
Meaningful Connection: Priority: People first, no regrets.
Chemistry: What, you too? Vulnerability: Dangerously safe. Empathy:
I hear and see you. Accountability: I can't carry it, but I can
carry you. True belonging takes intentional effort, but Kim reminds
us that we are made to belong--to each other and to Jesus. Through
sound wisdom from the Bible, proven research from the social
sciences and his own data, and examples from his pastoral ministry
and moving personal anecdotes, Kim shows us that we are uniquely
designed by God to belong to one another for our flourishing.
