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.

I am the founder of gentle and lowly co., a curated clothing brand designed to encourage people to, β€œcarry the gentle love of Jesus, wherever you go.”

Founded on Mark 10:45, β€œFor even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” My prayer for you and myself is with each design, whether it be printed on a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or sticker it would be a reminder to serve and show the world Jesus.

We all have different gifts, your job could be in the marketplace or in ministry, regardless of what our job title is, as followers of Jesus we both have the same primary mission. The mission Jesus gives every follower is to go and make disciples of every nation. Every day we have the opportunity to go into the world and carry the gentle love of Jesus. It is through the Gospel – Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection – that has the power to save and restore a relationship between God and one of His sons or daughters.

A Snapshot of My Creative Journey Over the Years

I love to create tools and solutions through creativity to help serve others. My hope is to create a new perspective through the power of intentional design and radical service. Design continuously surrounds us, but I believe when we take time to slow down and think critically – magic happens – or authentic creative strategy unfolds as we examine, question, and continue to be curious. My creative journey begins back in high school when I took a photography class because drawing class was the only alternative. Since my initial photography class, every time I pick up my camera or tool to begin a new project I remember what a gift it is. Through photography, videography, design, writing, social media, and marketing; it is my heart to highlight and capture the heartbeat of my client’s dreams and skills for their own creative venture. My approach is to provide each client with the right marketing tools so they can focus on what they uniquely bring into the world. When I’m not working you can find me enjoying a meal at Chick-Fil-A, enjoying the company of family and friends, or outside with my dog Kodak.
