She Belongs

Katy McCown

Share the book!

Katy McCown knows the loneliness of feeling left out of Christian community. Yet through all the struggles, she’s learned that the blessings of being a part of the body of Christ far outweigh the burdens.

This six-session in-depth Bible study shows us that to experience a true sense of belonging in the church we need to:

Shift our identity from our scars to our Savior.
Press into the body of Christ instead of pulling away from it—even if it means risking hurt.
Understand that our quest to keep it together will eventually cause us to fall apart.
Cultivate conditions that move us from “fine” to flourishing.

Diving deep into God’s Word, She Belongs includes practical illustrations, companion videos, and questions for individual or group study.

Find the peace, security, and purpose Jesus promises when we engage with other believers. This is the way to a life of belonging.

“We all want to belong. We want to feel loved and seen. The beauty of the gospel is that God invites each of us into a safe and sacred space of community through Jesus. This Bible study by Katy McCown will lead you on a powerful and personal journey of feeling, healing, and hope as each story, study question, prayer, and passage of Scripture points to the many ways you’re uniquely designed to live out—and live in—the love of God and His people.”
