Episode 35: Sharpened & Strengthened

We all love friends who hype us up, but do you have a circle that holds you up spiritually? It’s one thing to say you love God—it’s another to actually know Him and His Word. In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between cultural Christianity and true discipleship—and how the right friendships help you grow in both. Just like Mary ran to Elizabeth for encouragement and spiritual affirmation (Luke 1:39-45), you need friends who do more than make you feel good—they challenge you to know the Word, live it out, and grow deeper in your relationship with God. We’ll break down: ✔️ Do your friendships push you toward knowing God, or just liking the idea of Him? ✔️ The importance of having people who hold you accountable to reading the Word, not just reposting it. ✔️ How to build a circle that doesn’t just celebrate you—but checks if your faith is solid. If you’re serious about deepening your walk with Christ and want to make sure your circle is helping you do that, this episode is for YOU!
