For today’s TWA, I’m joined by a special guest to dive into an honest & raw conversation about friendships before & after coming to Christ. We talk about how our old friend groups, drinking, & other struggles shaped our identity & sense of belonging- and how meeting Jesus changed everything. We share how committing to the Lord impacted our relationships, shifted our perspectives on community, & even introduced some “drama” when we first met! We also discuss the importance of confession in friendships, the difference between worldly friends & being a brother/sister in Christ, and offer Scripture to encourage you in building & maintaining Godly friendships. Whether you're navigating old friendships, building new ones in Christ, or searching for guidance, this conversation is for you. Join us for encouragement, laughs, & real talk about faith and friendship!
