GODLY FRIENDSHIP | 7 Tips For Building Better CHRISTIAN FRIENDSHIPS

Friendship is such a GIFT from God. It is meant to be such a life-giving thing, and I truly feel that way about the friendships in my life. In this video I'm talking about what #GodlyFriendship looks like and how to build better #ChristianFrienships. If you've ever wondered, "how do I make good Christian friends?" or simply wanted to find ways to be more intentional in your friendships, I hope these tips help you and encourage you by showing you what a blessing #BiblicalFriendship can be. 💛
I'm also sharing clips of some my friends at the end of the video (these were all filmed pre-quarantine and I would have loved to include more people too but I had to use what I already had 😊). Thank you to the friends in these clips for letting me share these fun memories!

Which of these tips did you find most helpful? ✨

[@brietoujours1343]

Kaci, I really appreciate this video! So glad God blessed you with amazing friends. The tip I found most helpful was how to address conflict because it's something I need to learn and work on. I also like the idea of instigating fun...and so glad you emphasized prayer and asking deep questions. A video on how to make friends would be nice. I am learning how to have a friendship with a guy, and learning to navigate the differences between this and my female friendships is a little challenging but God is helping me.

[@kacinicole]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful Brie! I will definitely get a "how to make friends video" on my list of ideas for YT 😊also I totally agree that the guy vs. girl friendship thing can definitely be a tricky one to navigate, especially if there have ever been feelings on either end!

[@HolyandConnected]

Yes very! Thank you!

[@robyne8730]

I really appreciated this video. This week, I’ve really started praying for friends...godly friends. By listening to your video, I realized I don’t really “pour into” people that I have a chance to be friends with. I don’t invest that time. I believe it’s because I had a really deep hurt in a friendship as a teenager and I’ve never really tried/allowed good friends since then. That was years ago! Thank you for this video. Please pray for me. I need friends. Thank you. 💞🙏

[@BonBonHassan]

It’s difficult being a good friend and I barely have any experience but I’m praying to God for help

[@AprilDokubo]

Communication is very important in any relationship, thank you for this. 💛

[@kacinicole]

Wholeheartedly agree 🙌🏼

[@melaniem828]

I feel like it’s a lot of pressure to be a good friend. This is an area of my life that I’m so new to, but God has recently blessed me with a lot of godly women in my life, and I want to know how to be a good friend. I’ve always been so boy crazy I never focused on friendships growing up and I want to change. But again, all of these tips do overwhelm me a bit I guess because I get a lot of social anxiety. Thanks for sharing, I will pray about this.

[@TheMaskedThearpist]

[@nurse_Petite]

These were really nice tips. I did a similar video like this on my channel. I’m really hoping that God will flood my life with people who will lead me and not distract me. Godly friendships always and I’m willing to guide those who have not yet made the godly decision. I will never turn anyone away who appears to be struggling

[@kacinicole]

Amen, I love this prayer and your heart!

[@nurse_Petite]

Kaci Nicole Thank you.

[@casseygarcia5724]

Being intentional and praying for them. I also noticed God change as well as protect my heart towards the friends I continuously pray for. Watching this video was in my To Do part of my devotion as I read Jonathan and David's covenantal friendship. Thank God for your life Kaci😘

[@kacinicole]

I love that so much! It's so true that praying for people can totally change our hearts toward them. Thank you so much for your life-giving words 💛

[@OceanicPearlz1]

Losing many bad friends and ungodly friends for good. There were red flags 🚩 that I didn’t notice and were hindering my walk in faith. Literally all my friendships except 1. It’s exhausting keeping people who don’t care about who you really are. Especially when no one else listens to you actively despite you do that for them.

[@couplezxofsonicxp3011]

I thank you for this video because it has taught me that even though I've been hurt in my friendships and that I hurt some of my friends too, I can still make new friends. I believe that I can be good friends to non-believers and especially to my future christian friends. May God bless you abundantly. 😊💞

[@FreyaEmmanuel]

I loved what you said about honest conversations. i am trying to do that 😊

[@nakiasimone]

I am grateful for this video. Praying for your friends is so important you listed it twice! lol I prayed for you and that you have success in this youtube business and continue to share your heart and lessons with people. like me who want access to lessons like this because we want healthy godly relationships and want to start with being a good friend. You're the bomb, stay bright!

[@sholae8860]

Love this video so helpful thank you! I think the one about going directly to a friend about conflict and being hopeful to resolve it is the most helpful for me. We often don't want to do this but it is so necessary in avoiding bitterness and growing in the love of Christ.

[@preciousbonsu7336]

Kaci, these words of wisdom have helped me so much. Ive forgotten how to relate to my friends and have been feeling so lonely in relationships but i do have amazing people around me. Its time I get more intentional and reach out . God bless you richly!!! Ill be forwarding this video to my whats app groups.

Hi Kaci. How did you become so wise in the Lord at such a young age?!? I was so blessed by all of your thoughts and feel the Lord truly helped me through your video on healthy friendships. Being an insecure person over along period of time, I need to hear from people who have overcome. You have been a virtual friend to me! Thank you and God bless you

[@marisaijpelaar3584]

I loved to see your happy videos. I always see you as this calm gathered personality. I am such a loner nowadays.. I feel kind of social anxious.. also because I just started reading the Bible and I just know that my current group is very new to that, they are more in new age spirituality. At the same time im scared that its just harder for me to relate to them or something, in certain areas perhaps sex and boys

[@marisaijpelaar3584]

please pray for me :)

[@malinaarp2551]

I liked the highlighting the good qualities. I'll try really hard to use this. And how we can pray for them and praying together. I'm not sure about the phone cause that's not a thing i do with people. Oh and what is God doing in their life

[@vassooramanjooloo6011]

Great video Kaci...👍 Love It ... I would say 'to encourage each other '.... Encouragement is so important in The Body Of CHRIST... It's about uplifting one another... We,as branches,we are intertwined to support each other in every area .. GOD doesn't merely recommend it... HE explicitly commands it ( 1 Thessalonians 4:18, 5:11; Hebrews 3:13 ) 🙏🏽🔥

[@kacinicole]

Wholeheartedly agree! Encouragement is so vital!

[@manojkumarmajhi1194]

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen

[@OceanicPearlz1]

I noticed most had red flags 🚩 and even someone who I once considered close was all red flags from the start I just didn’t see it and was holding on to something that never really existed.

Jesus is God

[@Dannycdrummer]

Christian friendship is found in Jesus.......You must connect with others in an authentic and real way.......be with someone who genuinely cares for you and will tell you the truth, in love. I liked when you said where two or three gather in my name .......Dan ヅ❤

[@Vanessa-eg6or]

Thank you for this helpful video, Kaci! I was just wondering, do you think it's okay to vent to someone else about an issue you're having with a friend if you don't use their name or if they don't know each other - in hopes of getting a fresh perspective or advice on how to deal with the situation? Or would you still consider that gossiping?

[@kacinicole]

That's such a great question Vanessa and honestly something I wrestle with. I know when I want to do that I have to be very honest with myself about my motivations because I can easily tend to deceive myself about what they truly are. But I do believe it is possible to have pure intentions of genuinely wanting to seek perspective or advice, and in those situations I think it's important to go to a complete third party, maybe even someone older than you and not a peer. Meaning, if you have an issue with friend A, I would say don't go talk to friend B who is also friends with friend A, maybe try to find a friend C who doesn't even know friend A. And again just being honest with yourself about motivations. I hope that helps! 😊

[@Vanessa-eg6or]

@@kacinicole Thanks so much for your input, Kaci! That definitely helps - especially the idea of talking to someone older. I've never even considered that before! Thank you again! Keep doing what you're doing
