On this episode of Is That Like a Thing podcast, we get to spend time with our very first and very special guest, Kelly Needham. She is a wife, a mom, and the author of a wonderful book that we will be discussing today called, “Friendish”. We dive into this idea that there are counterfeit friendships that might look good on the outside, but on the inside are not the healthiest or even godly. Kelly helps us to identify what a few of these look like in our own lives, while also dropping a few truth bombs on the way. 

We had so much fun visiting with Kelly on this episode and we each found her wisdom incredibly helpful and eye-opening in our own friendships. We know you will find her a breath of fresh air, incredibly relatable and so very much fun. Thanks for joining us on this episode of Is That Like a Thing.
