There are around 8 billion people living right now, and God made and loves each and every one of them. We are all made in God’s image, each with the uniqueness and diversity so defining of a God who loves diversity. When we intentionally enrich our circle of friends with a variety of differences we have the opportunity to better experience God’s beautiful and diverse family.
Episode 3 of Rediscovering the Lost Art of Friendship features a conversation between host Jason Wieland and Transformation Church Lead Pastor Derwin Gray. Derwin and Jason talk about the biblical roots for diversity, why it’s important to be intentional in how you broaden your circle of friends, and some simple steps to growing deeper friendships.
Rediscovering the Lost Art of Friendship is a limited-series Saddleback Church podcast responding to the current epidemic of loneliness. Each episode features a conversation between host Jason Wieland and a different ministry leader looking at how to build friendships that last.
