Not every heartbreak comes from a romantic relationship.

Sometimes it’s the friend who slowly stopped calling. The friendship that drifted apart. The relationship that ended without closure. Or the person you thought would be in your life forever who is no longer walking beside you.


In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about friendship grief, navigating changing seasons, and what to do when relationships no longer look the way they once did.


We’ll talk about:

✨ Why friendship loss can hurt so deeply
✨ How to grieve relationships without bitterness
✨ The difference between a seasonal friendship and a toxic one
✨ What God may be teaching you in the transition
✨ How to make peace with relationships that changed without your permission


If you’ve been carrying disappointment, confusion, or heartbreak around a friendship, this episode is for you.


Friendships may change, but God’s faithfulness never does.
