“Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts”

People Need People is an idea born from two big topics: feeling disconnected from community and feeling purposeless in spirit. Humans are wired for connection. But in our individualistic society, sometimes finding the right community can be a challenge. We often face rejection, or we struggle to find a place where we can be surrounded by like minded people. I struggled to find a space to fit in. I wanted a place where I could both uplift and be uplifted by others. After searching and not being satisfied with my findings, I decided to create the People Need People movement.

I believe all people seek to be seen, understood, and accepted by others. Whatever your deepest hurt is, the fact remains– struggling alone is hard. Having people in your corner can make all the difference.

This ties in with finding purpose. Adopting a servant-hearted mindset propelled me into realizing that part of everyone’s purpose is to serve others to some degree. People Need People’s goal is to encourage individuals to become leaders of their own communities, families, and friend groups by taking initiative and being the first to reach out and be of service. There are people out there who need exactly what you have to offer and vice versa. By extending a hand and your unique self to others, you will find purpose, connection, and fellowship.

God placed this idea in my heart from my own experiences with rejection and feeling purposeless. I was shown that not only was I accepted, but I have purpose. And I was convicted to help others feel valued too.

The heart of PNP is to exemplify God’s love through connection, compassion, fellowship, and service.

Join me in this movement! All are welcome so come as you are. You can get connected by coming to meetups near you, grabbing PNP merch, or sharing and spreading the message on social media. Above all- the best way to spread the People Need People movement is by being an example of it in your every day life. This means taking action! Lend a hand, an ear, or a voice to someone who needs it. Adopt a servant’s heart and live it boldly and faithfully.
