Pamene Madison, namwino wachinyamata, adasamukira ku Denver kuchokera ku Texas, anali kufunafuna kulumikizana ndi anthu ammudzi. Anali Mkhristu watsopano, atadziwa Khristu chaka chapitacho, ali ndi chilakolako chachikulu ndi chikhumbo cha kukula. Utumiki unayitana Brook anamutsatira iye Instagram, choncho anaganiza zofufuza. Atalemba fomu yakuti “Ndine Watsopano,” mayi wina dzina lake Kira anamufikira m’gululo. Kira adauza Madison za njira zosiyanasiyana zolumikizirana, kuphatikiza awo kuyenda kwa mpingo kosavuta.
The Brook imalumikiza akatswiri achinyamata ku Denver, otchedwa mmodzi wa mizinda “yosungulumwa kwambiri” m’dzikolo. 52% ya mzinda wosakhalitsawu ndi wazaka zapakati pa 20 ndi 40, ndipo zomwe Madison adakumana nazo pofunafuna kulumikizana atangosamuka sizodziwika. "Anthu ambiri amasamukira ku Denver kuti akasangalale ndi zosangalatsa komanso zochitika zodabwitsa zonsezi, koma pamapeto pake amakhala osungulumwa komanso osungulumwa," akutero woyambitsa Brook, Molly.
M'malo mongoyendayenda, Madison adayesa pulogalamu ya The Brook's Intro to Simple Church. Dongosolo limalumikiza zoikamo zatsopano popanda kulumikizana zambiri m'magulu, kuwapatsa nthawi yoyeserera ya masabata asanu ndi limodzi kuti adziwane ndikuwona ngati gululo likugwirizana. Pogwiritsa ntchito njirayi, Madison adapeza banja lake lauzimu. Analowa m’tchalitchi chosavuta cha m’badwo wachiwiri, n’kuyamba kukhala m’gulu la akazi ambiri, ndipo anayamba “kukula ngati wamisala.”
Pasanapite nthawi, Molly anapita kwa Madison kuti amufunse ngati angathandize kuyambitsa gulu lina. Madison anali atadutsa Zúme 10-magawo ophunzitsira maphunziro ndipo “anali ndi mtima wophunzitsa,” chotero iye “anakondwera kwenikweni” kutsogolera gulu latsopano la akazi amene ankafuna kugwirizana. Pamene gulu la m’badwo wachitatulo linayenda bwino kwambiri, Madison anathandiza kupeza mtsogoleri watsopano wa ilo—mkazi wotchedwa Jules. Madison akupitilizabe kuphunzitsa Jules pomwe mkazi wachiwiri adatenga utsogoleri wa gulu la m'badwo wachitatu.
Ma signups adapitilira kubwera ku The Brook, kotero Molly adapita ku Jules. “Hey, Jules,” iye anafunsa, “kodi pali aliyense m’gulu lanu amene mukuganiza kuti angafune kukuthandizani kuyambitsa tchalitchi china chosavuta?”
"Chabwino, kwenikweni, eya!" Adayankha choncho Jules. “Pali mtsikana wina dzina lake Addy ndipo akungoyamba misala. Adachitapo maphunzirowa, ndipo adawonetsa kuti akufuna kuthandiza kuchulukitsa, koma akungoyesa kudziwa momwe angachitire."
Addy tsopano akutsogolera mpingo wosavuta wa m'badwo wachinayi, ndipo chitsanzocho chikupitirirabe. Ntchito yonse—kuchokera ku Madison kufika ku Denver mpaka kubzalidwa kwa mpingo wa m’badwo wachinai—inachitika patangodutsa chaka chimodzi.
Brook ikukwaniritsa chosowa ku Denver cholumikizira mtima. Pamene anthu osungulumwa akuchulukirachulukira mu mzindawu, utumiki umawalumikiza ndi ena ndikuwapatsa zida monga maphunziro aulere a pa intaneti a Zúme, magawo 10 kuti awakonzekeretse ndikuwatumiza kukayambitsa mipingo yatsopano. Ngati mukufuna kuyambitsa gulu lanu la ophunzira omwe amapanga ophunzira, lembani nawo maphunzirowo ndikuwona momwe Mulungu amayikamo ndalama mu mpingo wake.
