The people closest to us influence more than we probably realize. Our friendships shape our character, our choices, and ultimately, our future. In this message, we’ll explore how God’s wisdom helps us build relationships that encourage us, strengthen our faith, and move us toward the life He has for us; because proximity creates formation, and better decisions build better lives.
