Welcome to episode 9 of the Hey Sis Podcast!

Friendship break ups are real and hit hard.

In this episode, we chat about grieving or losing friends as an adult and cultivating a community that you really want.

We explore:

• What the Bible says about friendships
• How we have navigated our own friendship journeys over the years
• What it looks like to grieve and part with a friend well as a Christian
• How we as Christians should be the community creators
• One thing we should do if we crave community
