In this episode of Soul Talk, Pastor Rick explores the power of spiritual friendships in shaping us as disciples of Jesus. More than casual connections, Christ-centered friendships help us grow through prayer, encouragement, accountability, and grace. Drawing from biblical examples like David and Jonathan, Paul and Timothy, and Jesus with His disciples, Pastor Rick unpacks the characteristics of true spiritual friendship—honesty, empathy, intercession, forgiveness, and joy in fellowship. With practical steps to nurture these relationships, listeners are encouraged to seek and cultivate friendships that sharpen their faith and draw them closer to Christ.
