Before we release the final episode of the Made for People Podcast, we’re pressing pause for something a little different.

Over the past few weeks, so many of you have reached out with thoughtful reflections, personal stories, and honest questions. So instead of rushing to the finish, we’re giving you the chance to shape how this series ends.

We’re collecting listener questions—about anything we’ve talked about: friendship in marriage, parenting, loneliness, making friends as an adult, or something we haven’t covered yet—and in a few weeks, Matt, Steve, and I will release a final episode where we respond to your questions directly.

In the meantime, we didn’t want to leave you empty-handed—so we’re sharing this short bonus episode on a topic that has come up again and again: geography and how much your physical location shapes your relational life.

In just ten minutes, we talk about:

✔️ Why moving toward friendship could be one of the most important decisions you ever make

✔️ How proximity isn’t everything—but it changes everything

✔️ How to think about jobs, neighborhoods, and churches through the lens of community
