Former Bachelor Star Ben Higgins on Loneliness, Faith, and Healing
As the star of the twentieth season of The Bachelor, Ben Higgins looked like he had it all together. Instead, Ben felt dissatisfied, fearful, and deeply alone. Like so many of us, he thought of himself as the kid who never got picked for the game, the person always on the outside of the joke, the friend who knew a lot of people but was never truly known. He wondered if he mattered at all.
In this expanded edition of Alone in Plain Sight, Ben shares how fame masked a deep struggle with identity, isolation, and the ache to be truly known. Now as a husband and new dad, he adds a chapter about needing connection during life’s biggest transition and how the need for real connection is greater than ever.
Ben offers insights into how to understand ourselves more deeply so that we are free to connect with others. How shared pain can bridge even the widest gaps between two very different people. How marriage and fatherhood have shaped his understanding of vulnerability and connection. How the God who longs for relationship with us is the answer to our need for connection. What a radical generosity, service, and community building can lead to an even greater depth of relationship.
Ben shares that in a disconnected world, it is possible to have lasting purpose and peace. You are already known. You are already loved. You are already seen. He shares how to live out how much you matter as you embrace the true meaning of your one incredible life.
