The Cost of Connection

Sacrifice (almost) everything for spiritual friendship.

As you read the Proverbs, you’ll find that one of its most important topics is the subject of friendship. Wise people forge & foster deep spiritual friendship. Friendship—even at its best—is never perfect. Friends disappoint us, exasperate us, and can wound us. Even still, friendship is worth fighting for! Spiritual friends are rare—they are faithful, discerning, forgiving, and candid. They are quick to affirm, quick to forgive, and remind you how much they love you and how much God loves you. Sacrifice almost everything for spiritual friendship.
