Fellowship Over Followers:
Discovering Authentic Community
in a Hurried World of Comparison

Comparison is stealing the joy of deeper intimacy with Jesus and fellowship with one another.

In Addison’s first book, Fellowship Over Followers, she invites readers to join her in debunking the lies of comparison and discovering the true freedom found within deeper intimacy with Jesus and fellowship with one another. Through personal and biblical stories, Addie shares her own experience as a young adult following Jesus and addresses topics such as:

  • How to find and make friends as a young adult.

  • What is my purpose?

  • I’m continuously searching for God’s calling on my life.

  • Why do I feel behind in life?

  • How to have deeper Christian friendships.

  • I want to make a difference with my life, but I don’t know where to start.

  • Why do I always seem to compare myself to others?

  • How to build community when starting over.

  • What is my identity in Jesus?

If you're a young adult, or Christian looking to live a life that's radically different from the world, Fellowship Over Followers is the perfect book for you. It teaches you how to intentionally live in the true fellowship of God with others, rather than being consumed with the lies of comparison.

What Readers Are Saying…

  • "Addie shares her heart for Jesus and others in this short book. An easy read with a challenging message to love Jesus well and others authentically."

    Mary Kathryn W.

    ★★★★★
    FROM THE HEART

  • "This is such a fun yet inspiring book to read. It feels like you're curled up on a couch with a fuzzy blanket and a cup of tea talking to your best friend about life, faith, and friendship. One of my favorite parts of the book were the reflection questions at the end of each chapter. Reading wisdom is one thing, allowing yourself time to take it in is another! Addie gently speaks on and models through her own life experience how to move from self-centered isolation to radical, truly loving, fellowship with others. Great read!"
