AN INTRODUCTION FROM SARAH 

This site is a stake in the ground for community

I have read that we are “the most connected generation to ever live.” And I get
that. I recently got 11 very important notifications that people *liked* the
photo I posted of my dog. So connection? Check.

Yet still, on any given day, I can smush into an elevator and stand there with
10 strangers–socially limp, eyes glazed over, staring into our phones. Our
children, off at school, think we have 2,392 friends each because Instagram says
so, yet we don’t even make eye contact with the person standing right next to
us.

I don’t know about you, but a tiny voice inside me suggests that maybe we’ve
gone off the rails a bit. Filling every moment with noise and screens, yet still
sometimes feeling isolated and  alone. I wonder if there is “more” to be had, if
we’re missing out on the kind of deep, rich connections God intended humans to
experience.

These observations led me to interview hundreds of people about their social
experiences. And to start collecting “best practices”–habits that socially
“healthy” people use to meaningfully connect with those around them.

My hope is this website will become a space to come and connect and explore
these learnings. To take a deep breath, figure out what we’re missing, and
remember what it’s like to live and be…together.


SOME BASIC INSIGHTS

 1. Humans are designed to live in connection.
 2. Social habits & practices can be learned.
 3. Relationships don’t happen or deepen on their own; we must be intentional.
 4. Everyone has unique social needs/preferences.
 5. Regular interaction leads to familiarity.
 6. Familiarity creates more opportunity.
 7. Consistency and goodwill turn opportunity into connection.

 * "I stumbled across [Sarah's book], which taught me that I was not alone and
   reminded me that God works through imperfect people and churches. In many
   ways, it restored my faith."
   Jonathan Merritt @Religion News Service
   
   
 * "While Dear Church was passionate and raw, Picking Dandelions is warm and
   mature. In it, Sarah sets aside the letter-writing approach and transitions
   into a straight-up spiritual memoir. It’s funny, honest, and instructive..."
   Jason Boyett @BeliefNet
   
   
 * "[Sarah] believes in 'keeping the faith' and 'tradition.' "
   @Leadership Journal
   
   
 * "Plenty of voices...express disillusionment...Sarah Cunningham's letters to
   the church show her journey THROUGH disillusionment. It's a refreshing
   perspective."
   5 Books Relevant Recommends @Relevant Magazine
   
   
 * "Cunningham weaves faith into down-to-earth metaphors of growth and
   renewal...it's at times funny as she describes growing up...Humility and
   humor are part of Cunningham's book as she challenges readers to 'apply faith
   principles'..."
   Monetta Hair @MLive
   
   
 * "Cunningham also highlights the aspects of church life that give her hope.
   She loves the resiliency and flexibility of the church. And she loves Jesus,
   who was simultaneously anti-institutional and deeply committed to the
   church."
   @Publishers Weekly
   
   
 * “She encourages 20-somethings to have a little more grace and patience with
   the failures of the church and ends her book with a love letter to the
   church.”
   Katie Galli @Christianity Today
   
   
 * "Sarah Cunningham, a writer herself and author of Dear Church: Letters From a
   Disillusioned Generation, examines the book in the context of how Christians
   might look at environmental issues. "
   Cathy Lynn Grossman @USA Today
   
   
 * "A bit of a mashup of an Advent calendar and the Elf on the Shelf phenomenon,
   this book...presents the Nativity story from the perspectives of key
   characters in a typical 'manger scene.'”
   @Publishers Weekly
   
   
 * "Fast forward to 2013 and Sarah's now aiming to not only help people move
   beyond disillusionment with the Church, but also to help them avoid some of
   the leadership traps that sidelined or slowed her down early on."
   @Brad Lomenick

      I Have Hundreds of Children’s Books in My Kitchen. That’s Normal, Right?
      by Sarah on September 20, 2018 at 1:20 pm
      
      Nine years ago, when our first child was born, God gifted us with a series
      of two children. And not just any two children, but two of the best human
      beings ever created. (But yes, yours are great too.) Two of the best human
      beings ever created though! Living right in my house! They wake […]
