How Introverts and Extroverts Shape a Family on Mission

The difference between introverts and extroverts is one of the most misunderstood aspects of personality. So many people get it wrong, leading to myths and assumptions that just don’t hold up.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re setting the record straight. We’ll break down the biggest misconceptions and uncover how both introverts and extroverts play a vital role in living together as a family on mission.

The truth is, we all have moments when we crave solitude and quiet—Jesus certainly did. And at times, even the most introverted among us step into social settings and engage with others—just like Jesus often did. Understanding this balance is key to thriving together.

• How introversion has nothing to do with “being shy”


• Why extroverts don’t always have to be the life of the party


• How spouses that are on opposite ends of this can better understand each other


• Ways culture has taught us to hide our self-love behind these distinctions


• Why we need each other to be more fully like Jesus and make disciples

From this episode:

"Remember, whether introverted or extroverted God has gifted you differently than others AND he knows who will be a good fit for you relationally. Let God lead you to those “people of peace” who will love you for who you are. Extroverts are great for drawing a crowd, and introverts are more naturally drawn to fewer folks but go deeper into relationship. We need both in our missional communities."
