In the final episode in our Being the Friend You Need summer series, Meghan and I talk about the friend we need: one who challenges us, pushes back against our bad ideas, and metaphorically “stabs us in the front,” rather than in the back by telling us the truth, even when it feels hard. 

We also take some time to reflect on this series as a whole, which I pray has blessed your friendships this summer! Thank you so much for joining us for this series!
