In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, Christine Chappell interviews Drew Hunter about his book, "Made for Friendship: The Relationship That Halves Our Sorrows and Doubles Our Joys." During the conversation, Drew explores God's design for friendship, what it really looks like in practice, and highlights modern barriers that increasingly push our experiences of true friendship out of reach. He also examines how mandated social distancing exposes the importance of face-to-face human connection, and describes what makes Jesus Christ the epitome of a friend.
