I was never taught to reflect on the health of my friendships, and you probably weren't either. It just wasn't a thing in the 80's or even the 90's...However, it is absolutely necessary now.

It's undeniable. Friendship is complicated. But, it's also beautiful, lovely, and holy. Betrayal will come, but the beauty you'll find in friendship far outweighs the pain. Let's talk with Andi Andrew, author of Friendship: It's Complicated. 

Today, we're reflecting on Proverbs 27:5-6 (NIV)

Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

This week, I asked Andi:

• What is the woman wound and how do we heal from it?
• How do we navigate betrayal in a friendship? 
• What do we need to know about the pain pastors encounter in ministry?
• You write, "Wisdom tells us to be selective, but we often fail to do this because we want to be inclusive." Why is it important to be selective about your friendships?

Tag me and let us know what your greatest takeaway was. I'm on IG at @candidliv, and Andi is at @andiandrew.
