Differences in language, food, and culture sparked 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:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou are all alone.
