In this episode, Maia and Blakely open up about the ways they’ve missed the mark in friendship—starting with gossip and unhealthy communication. They share honestly about times they’ve talked about people instead of to them, avoided hard conversations, or prioritized keeping the peace over making things right.

Along the way, they reflect on Scriptures that have challenged and shaped them in this area:

• “Blessed are the peacemakers…” (Matthew 5:9)

• “If you have something against your brother, go to them…” (Matthew 18)

• “A friend loves at all times…” (Proverbs 17:17)

• “The tongue has the power of life and death…” (Proverbs 18:21)

• “As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” (Romans 12:18)

This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about being honest, owning our part, and learning how to show up better for the people we care about.

Because let’s be real—none of us get this perfectly. But we can grow from our failures.
