Friendship as adults can be complicated. The school yard drama is long behind us but life keeps changing and so do those relationships. In today’s podcast Rhonda and I talk authentically about friendships.

Specifically how to nurture the ones we have.
How to let go of ones that are stealing our happiness and sanity.
And how to support a friend who experiences a loss or tragedy.

We think this week’s episode will encourage you and give you creative inspiration for how to keep your good friends close and keep your drama friends- an arms length away. You can listen to the episode in the player below and stream it on your computer, or you can download the episode to your computer, tablet or smart device to listen to on the go!

Bonus Thoughts:

Here are some wise scriptures from the Bible on friendship that I think can help guide our decisions about who we allow to get close to us.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Proverbs 13:20-

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

As a 7th grade small group leader at my church, I’m regularly talking to the tweens about their friendships and I often use these scriptures. However, as an adult these scriptures are just as important for me to take to heart because I should invest in my friendships that matter so that I always have someone to help up as well as have someone to help me up! Proverbs 13:20 is also important. Do you have a friend who’s dragging you, your peace of mind and your sanity into their crazy life drama? It might be time to lovingly take some space. You’ve got your own life, troubles and family to worry about.

We hope that you found some inspiration in today’s podcast and would love to hear from you in the comments section below.
