In this episode I discuss:

Top 5 Reasons Friendships Fail (or we feel like they failed)

1) We put pressure on how long we’ve been friends with someone and that translates into, “this should or shouldn’t be happening” at this point

2) We allow too much time to pass without checking on our friends and then, connect only when we need or want something

3) We confuse seasonal friendships/relationships with lifelong purpose mates (purpose mates means anyone assigned to your life to help you live purposeful in every or an individual area of your life)

4) We don’t ask God in the first place about someone’s role in our lives, entering into friendships with people who weren’t designed to be more than a connection for a moment

5) We’re too impatient, judgmental and self-righteous in our friendships, therefore we lack the ability to love righteously.
