E377 How to Help Your Friendships Endure with Bryan Loritts

There’s a little book in the New Testament that doesn’t get as much love as it should. The book is Philemon - it’s a letter from Paul to a man named Philemon whose slave, Onesimus had runaway but was led to Christ by Paul. It’s a beautiful picture of reconciliation - and helpful for us as we think about how to better reconcile relationships. We know that relationships come with all sorts of difficulties, but there are also biblical ways to maintain healthy relationships and reconcile them when they break or run into difficulty.
For today's episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Bryan Loritts, teaching pastor at Summit Church in North Carolina and author of the new book, Enduring Friendship: Sticking Together in an Age of Unfriending. In this episode, Bryan and Jason talk about why it’s hard to maintain friendships, God’s message through the book of Philemon, and how to live out a healthy relationship through Truth, Repentence, and Grace.

As I listened to this and heard you talk about friendship, I could see it in dealing with certain relationships in family, too, like brothers and sisters or anywhere there could be a sibling friendship, even though they are family. Could this be true? I am talking about peers, not parents and their offspring.
