Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were siblings, each with their own personality, their own way of loving Jesus, and likely their own tensions. And yet, Jesus called them His friends. In this final session of the series, we’ll reflect on what it means to embrace the differences among us and to stay in relationship even when things get complicated.  Sisterhood isn’t about agreeing on everything, it’s about choosing to see Christ in the other, again and again.Have you ever felt tension in your friendships or struggled to connect with someone who’s just different? How can we honor the dignity of someone we find difficult to understand?Join the convo at the Weekly Visit every Tuesday at 1pm ET in the BIS Member Community!

Friendship is beautiful—but it’s also messy. Feelings get hurt. Expectations go unmet. We misunderstand each other. But as we’ll reflect on the life of Mary Magdalene—a woman who experienced both profound mercy and fierce loyalty—we’ll consider how grace and forgiveness can be the bridge that keeps us connected even in conflict. This is where real sisterhood grows: not in perfection, but in love that chooses to stay.Is there a friendship in your life that feels strained, broken, or uncertain? Is there someone you need to extend grace to—or someone you need to ask forgiveness from?Join us every Tuesday at 1 pm ET for The Weekly Visit on the BIS Member Community!

Real friendships are rarely instant. Sometimes we assume that if it doesn’t “click” right away, it’s not meant to be—but sisterhood is often built slowly, through shared stories, laughs, and even a few awkward silences. This week, we’ll talk about letting go of the pressure for immediate depth and instead embracing the sacred rhythm of friendship that takes root over time. Come if you’ve been wondering how to go deeper in your relationships—or why it still feels like everyone is a stranger.Ask yourself: Am I allowing the Holy Spirit to do the slow, steady work of building something lasting?Join us LIVE every Tuesday at 1pm ET for The Weekly Visit on the BIS Member Community!
