In today's episode, Brent shares three phases of his attitudes towards the friendships in his life.

God shows us in the Bible that friendships are critical and important, why are we not making time for true friendship to blossom and grow?

In this episode, Brent shares a brief overview of the Biblical teaching on friends.

He explores how friendships were developed between two different people and between God and man. He talks about a few different friendships in the Bible and the dynamics of each one; Abraham and God, David and Jonathan, Jesus and His disciples, and more.
