With a show titled Friends for Life, we’d be remiss to complete our first season without addressing what it means to be a friend. Join Steph and friend Kyla Rodriguez as they chat about what it means to be a friend in the truest sense of the word, and how Christians must reclaim friendship as a worthy vocation and a means to live out the Gospel in ordinary, everyday life.

Bio: Kyla lives in Northern Wisconsin with her husband and their three children. She graduated from Concordia University Chicago with a BA in Director of Christian Education. She currently serves as the communications director at Trinity Lutheran Merrill, writes monthly devotions for Concordia Publishing House, and does social media coaching. Becoming a mama added a whole new dimension to her ministry, and few things bring her greater joy than watching her children learn to love Jesus too. You can hang out with her on Instagram for daily encouragement @rodriguezkyla.
