What qualities and characteristics make a good friend? What do you look for when choosing friends? How can we maintain healthy, gospel-centered friendships in an age where digital relationships seem the norm and our lives appear busier than ever? We hope you’ll grab a giant mug of your favorite hot bevy, tune in on the road, or fold some laundry (we love multi-tasking, too) as we tackle some of these questions and chat about friendship.

Consider reading and praying through these scriptures in response to the conversation:
- Proverbs 17:17
- Proverbs 18:24
- Proverbs 27:5-6
- Proverbs 27:9
- Proverbs 27:17
- Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
- Colossians 3:12-14
- John 15:12-15
- James 4:4
What do these passages tell you about friendship? Make a list of everything a Biblical friendship is or does. According to John 15:12-15, what do those of us who follow Christ become? What does James 4:4 tell us is the alternative?
Oh that we might be women who live out a gospel-call of friendship to each other and our Lord – That we, like Job, would be able to boldly proclaim “God’s intimate friendship blessed my house” (Job 29:4-6).
In Him and through Him,
Rachel & Lisa

Thank you ladies for holding this conversation. I appreciated your comments on consistency, self-awareness, and being the friend even when you don’t have them….”no one is going to let you in if you’re not trustworthy”. Prayers I know for so many.
Thank you Julia!!! Your feedback is so encouraging and helpful!
