S3 EP9: Healthy Friendships (making Godly friendships, gossip, growing apart & more!)

[@fay6397]

i never comment but just this past Friday I was praying for God to show me how to be a better friend. Don't nobody tell me that God ain't real !1! This pod has given me a lot of insight on friendship and I'm looking forward to stewarding my friendships more and more.

[@atong8631]

I said this same thing, God is good always!

[@amb4368]

same here i prayed for that exact thing

[@kris3287]

Today I set aside time to be with the Lord today and to hear Him on certain things concerning the friends that I have and what I should do and how I should be their friend and then I watched this and I'm so grateful that the Lord spoke through you guys. You guys have been such a blessing to me throughout this year you don;t even know.

[@AshleyCollinss_]

Be the friend you wish you had !!! 🤞🏼💜

[@JadAngel]

I feel like I welcome a lot of people in my life, but I don't really get that welcome. I feel alone with God. I tolerate a lot of people's ways and I never stand up and say I am against gossiping and doing these things. I don't listen to wordly music, I don't usually gossip, and I don't curse but I let others slide with it that are in Christ and I involve in gossip. It's the people pleasing and fear of man that I need to discuss to God about. I wanna stand up for myself, I want to be bold about my faith that I Don't tolerate and I wanna be the friend I've always wanted: the friend that prays over her friends, the friend that holds others accountable, and the friend that stands bold in her faith and don't tolerate things.

[@melodyslife]

Thank you so much sister!! Missed y’all MORE 🥹

[@hanajahslens]

I really needed this, have a great week family! Don't be a "where's my hug at" friend got it lolll, but that's so trueee, and be the friend you want in your life always does it for me because how can I want friendship but then not be the example of the kind of friend I need or want in general, that's so gooddd🤭

[@mangidenga9250]

This was so timely and proper. I needed to hear this. Currently trying to navigate friendships in my life and it's not easy. Praying to God to give me the strength to let go of even the friendships that are good but we're just not moving in the same direction in life.

[@essyshiro]

On 22/04/2024. I was on my way to work listening to this exact podcast. I was so rooted in it until the our bus started swerving and we got into an accident. People were hurt but I wasn't. That was God!I couldn't believe it but praise Jesus!!!!

[@joannregel6803]

I have been struggling with letting go of someone who God clearly is trying to remove from my life and I keep holding on because I see potential and the good memories we made. But God has seen and heard things I haven’t and this message truly spoke to me and gave me the understanding that some people are here for a reason and for a season. This podcast has truly been helping me so much. God bless you guys and peace to your family 🙏🏽❤️

[@altinalee101]

speaking of friendship i have the biggest friend crush on yall 😢❤ thanks for this wonderful episode!

[@iloveruee]

The Holy Spirit really spoke to me through y’all in this vid. I thought I was treating my friends right but I wasn’t. It was a ‘ holier than thou’ kinda thing and I’m actually embarrassed of myself for acting that way (I’m not staying in shame tho). God’s been reminding me to do everything in love and there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with to do that. Now, I’m going to actually put loving GENUINELY as my biggest goal. God bless you guys and your podcast 💗

[@tamibabe]

Halfway through I find myself crying. Thank you for this one.

[@kacilynnb2360]

This helped me soooo much your videos always encourage me 😁😁👍🏽💗✝️

[@angellicamaleka]

[@CamilaSilva-zm9rg]

[@solange798]

I loved this episode❤ thank you guys always for your wisdom. This is the video I was looking for all month. God bless you guyss. Ps respectfully, God took his time on yall, y’all are gorgeous 😂❤

[@glennjonez6517]

Amen on having friends that have Christ’s motives and confidence towards you. Proverbs 27:6 beautiful states that “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” I have learnt this throughout my walk with Jesus⚓️🤲

[@jordanfields286]

this was so needed for me. I've never been someone who had many friends, but I've always relied heavily on my family. I really appreciate this perspective and your sibling dynamic. I absolutely love your faith and i'm thankful for your obedience, bless you!

[@daniella6920]

This episode is eveything i really needed. I have been asking God for advice on friendships because I am unsure about a particular friendship in my life and if i should hold on to it or just let go. I also want a Godly community . This video helped me to look at areas of my life where I can strive to do better and be a better friend and person . I really love this podcast.

[@Mae.sk4]

Hey guys, I have two close friends in my school. Both of them aren't really close to God, but one of them respects my decision of trying to get closer to God, whereas the other one doesn't much. I haven't been caring for some time now, and I've been doing my own things with Christ, but it's just this specific season where i feel so lonely and alone, especially since they have recently been bringing their other worldly friends to hang out with us. And in those moments, I feel EXTREMELY lonely, because i am trying to get away from gossip and all that worldly stuff. S o much so that I have been thinking of breaking off the friendship in a way that won't be problematic. But a part of me also wanted me to still be close to them, that I've recently noticed, i was slowly going back to my old ways just so i could fit in. Once i noticed that, i felt so disgusted with myself, and repented. I am almost halfway through your/the amazing podcast, that I've noticed what i am feeling is normal when i am trying to get closer to God, but the friendship i am in, is not good for me if i want to get to the next stage with God. I am not too sure what to do, I've prayed about it and I'm now waiting on the Lord to help me. Some days I don't want to go to school cause of them. But by the grace of God i have h come past this podcast. I will continue watching! If you guys any advice, please tell me some tips. Thank you so much :)

[@zama_mandisa]

Hi ,I understand completely and what God told me when I was in that situation and honestly I am still am he told me to be still and notice Him in other words acknowledging Him and the assurance that he is always be with me he will never leave us alone ,that is truly helping me . He told me to focus on Him as a friend for He is already enough for me the is truly no void with Him. Lastly God told me in the beginning of the of this season to distance myself from them have grace on them like what heavenly bond said and to pray for them internationally and to know that he Loves me and I already have a friendship and Love with him that is eternal so overall my message to you is to trust God in your season and he will make a way have faith so that you can have peace.

[@Mae.sk4]

@@zama_mandisa Thank you so so much! I will remember this! God bless you ❤️

[@itzbloux2732]

When i came back to Christ i struggle with gossip still to this day and i don't really have a Christian friendship as which is hard and the friendship i do have are hard as I'm trying not to do many things also I'm a single mum to a beautiful boy so that is also hard

[@ZabaBillionaire]

Heyy guys I love you podcast so much they've taught me many things about God, guys can you do an episode based on seeking signs from God??. Please guys so much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@daileenramize]

This was so on time and so good. Yes, I love that you guys are Dominican (de lo miooo❤️), but your conversations are so honest and it’s SO appreciated. I feel like I’m in a safe place when I’m listening. I’m really struggling with making friends at my church and I always have. I don’t want to leave to a church that has a bigger YA group, bc I feel led and I’ve grown SO much at my church, but it is hard. I connect a lot with older women, but as far as having friends my age that are God fearing, has been difficult. I’m 28, so a lot of women are either married or with kids, so I feel out of place. But, I need to find the courage to step out of my comfort zone. Anyways!! Thank you for your obedience to the Lord! Love these podcasts!

[@Vic_Johnson]

[@hendrinashikoko1258]

Thank y'all so much for this episode❤️❤️... It was truly enlightening and it blessed me so much especially the part of pointing out and correcting friend I have a question though, so what are your thoughts on people who point out people in public with the "intention" to create awareness of who really this specific people are and to warn the public to stop following such people?
