Connection to others is important, but in a culture that celebrates personal freedom as the highest value, connection is now falling by the wayside. The Bible's greatest story of friendship shows us some ideas on how we can form relationships that help us up and over the wall.

Discussion Questions:

1. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your friendships? Do you feel close to people or a little more isolated?

2. If your friendships don't feel close, why do you think that is? And if they are close, what do you think is contributing to your friendship success?

3. One of the things that characterized David and Jonathan's friendship was that they constantly reminded each other of their love for the other. Who needs that affirmation from you and how will you provide it?
