Friendship. Such a beautiful gift.

My guest, Kim Todd, shares the strategy
of having a kingdom community, a family. These are the people who you laugh
with, who fill you with joy, and who you share "you had to be there"
moments with during the good times.

While those good times are important,
oh, how valuable true friends are during the hard times when they listen as you
pour out your heart, they speak nourishing words of encouragement over you, and
they offer prayers for you.

Notable quotes:
* "We have to go into friendships knowing that we’re not there to fix anyone's problems because if you go into there with that, it's not going to go well."

* "When I see they're doing well, I'm excited for them."

* "It's this natural give and take. It's not a transaction. It's a connection."

* "When it becomes performance, friendship is completely hindered. It's blocked. Nothing's going to come from that cause it's limited."

Bible verses:
* Proverbs 27:9
* John 15:17
* 1 Thessalonians 5:11
* John 10:27
