    The Lonely Freshman: What I Wish I Knew

    The Lonely Freshman: What I Wish I Knew What if you’re surrounded by people and still feel completely alone? Starting college, moving somewhere new, finding your people, and building genuine friendships can be HARD. And sometimes loneliness can make us question our worth, compare ourselves to everyone around us, or even run back to relationships and habits we know God called us out of. In this episode of A Lion Inside Podcast, we’re talking honestly about loneliness, friendship, identity, and finding your people—especially in a new season of life. I share what I wish I knew when I first came to college, why your worth cannot depend on who invites you, texts you, or chooses you, and why Jesus has to be your first belonging, your first home, and your first friend. We’ll talk about: Why you can feel lonely even when you're surrounded by people Why friendship doesn't have a timeline How loneliness can tempt you back into old patterns Finding your identity in Jesus instead of your friendships Why genuine community requires vulnerability and intentionality Learning to stop looking for “your people” and start becoming someone’s person How Jesus meets us in seasons of loneliness and reminds us that we are seen, known, and loved If you’re a freshman sitting alone in your dorm, struggling to find your people, or simply walking through a lonely season, this episode is for you. You are not behind.You are not forgotten.You are not alone. Jesus sees you. And He is your home. 🤍 🎙️ A Lion Inside Podcast
