I really love how knowledgeable you ladies are with the word 😊🙏🏽✨. I think this episode about Godly Friendships is very needed. Ironically enough, i just started reading the book of John Monday. We should love our friends as Jesus loved his disciples; while correcting them when needed but not in a overly harsh way. I try everyday to be that. I think great communication, showing accountability and understanding is super important to maintaining a Godly friendship. I hope to have friendships that reflect that. I wish you both blessed days ahead.

The episode’s view of friendship reflects a modern, idealized notion of relationships, prioritizing emotional support, harmony, and affirmation, often using selected Bible verses to support these values. From a historical-critical perspective, however, biblical teachings on relationships are often more communal, covenantal, and duty-bound, emphasizing accountability, justice, and loyalty within a collective framework. A more historically accurate approach would recognize the following: Relationships in the Bible are not idealized and often include betrayal, conflict, and moral complexity. Friendship is less about individual emotional support and more about communal obligations, ethical accountability, and loyalty to the covenant community. Concepts like love and forgiveness are conditional and tied to covenantal relationships, rather than being universal, unconditional principles. Biblical friendships often prioritize moral and communal integrity over individual preferences for comfort, harmony, or emotional support. These distinctions underscore how contemporary interpretations can sometimes project modern values onto ancient texts, potentially overlooking the Bible’s complex, duty-oriented approach to relationships.
