In today's episode, we're joined by the wise Kelly Needham as she reminds us that we're called to more than halfhearted friendships and lukewarm connections. Sharing principles and personal stories detailed in her book, Friend-ish, we take an honest and closer look at what the tenor of Scripture says about the gift of friendship and what this practically means for us. Join us as we explore:

• Healthy vs unhealthy attachment in friendships
• The first step to making friends in a new place/stage of life
• What it practically looks like to build a friendship with an invisible God
• Why we must boldly ask for what we need in our friendships
• One major counterintuitive reason why we struggle to build trust in our close friendships
