16. Why Do We Need Friends?

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Grab a cup of coffee and get ready to spend some time with Bethany as she shares about why friends can be so important. 

When we think about our friends, a dozen things come to our mind. Fun times, good laughs, a person to talk with, a shoulder to cry on. But have you ever stopped to think about what God says about friendship? 

In Exodus 17 we see the depiction of what true friendship should look like, When they are in the midst of battle, Moses is weary and tired. He is at that point where he cannot do it alone anymore. The Israelites come and they  help hold his arms for him and give him companionship when he is unable to do it for himself. This allows him to keep that staff raised high. 

We are all on that battlefield and we all reach that breaking point from time to time where we just don’t think we can do it anymore. God’s design for friendship is to help hold each other up through those times. 

 

Through it all, we are called to hold high the banner of Jesus. But sometimes, mama, we get tired and we need help. We need friends that can help us hold that banner up and can keep speaking gospel truths to us in this moment so that we can keep speaking them to our kids. 

 

Join Bethany this week as she talks about

God’s design for friendship. How to help your friend when they just can’t go on alone. How to admit when you are in that place of needing a friend to hold you up.
