Friendship and relationships are inseparably connected to the heart of God. Not only were we all created in the image of our relational God, who exists in community, but making friends is a critical component to making new disciples of Jesus.
This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we’ll teach you 5 steps to making friends quickly. We’ll show where to look, and give you the confidence to find new friendships and bridge those relationships into the rhythms of your normal life.
Most people don’t avoid making new friends, but are often distracted or fall into self-focused patterns for so long that they have missed many opportunities for real relationships with new people of peace that are right in front of them.

This breaking of the wall of public and private is key to building relationships and trust. True friendships are not contained in social boxes…they eventually permeate our lives both public and private.”Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.
