In the final week of our series on the four Greek words for love, we explore phileo—the love of friendship—and why it’s often the most neglected kind of love in our lives.From Jesus’ anguish in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26), we see that real friendship means having people you can bleed with, wrestle with, and be honest with when life is crushing. We also learn the difference between vulnerability and intimacy, and why not everyone is safe enough for your inner circle.Finally, we’re challenged to fight for our relationships the way Jesus did—through forgiveness, restoration, and gospel-centered friendship.
