Friendship isn't just something that's nice to have. It's essential to living the life God designed for us.

In this episode of Between Sundays, Pastor Zuniga and Pastor Billy have an honest conversation about the growing loneliness epidemic, why meaningful friendships are harder to build than ever, and how understanding the different seasons of friendship can change the way we view relationships. They discuss why most people only have a handful of close friends, what Scripture teaches about friendship, and practical habits anyone can develop to become the kind of friend others want to be around.

Whether you've been feeling disconnected, are struggling to find your people, or simply want to strengthen the relationships you already have, this conversation offers both encouragement and practical wisdom.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why friendship is essential, not optional
• The "scattering" that happens in every season of life
• Why most people only have 3 to 5 truly close friends
• Seven practical ways to build stronger friendships
• How small groups create opportunities for real connection
• Why your greatest friendships may still be ahead of you

Because healthy churches are built on healthy relationships, and nobody was meant to do life alone.

Justin and Hillary Jeter wear a lot of hats: family pastors, business owners, parents, and ministry leaders. In this honest conversation, they share what it really takes to build a thriving family while navigating the demands of ministry and entrepreneurship.

From weekly "family business meetings" and intentional communication to raising children with purpose, making difficult sacrifices, and trusting God through every season, the Jeters offer practical wisdom for anyone trying to balance faith, family, work, and calling.

Whether you're leading a church, building a business, raising kids, or simply trying to live with greater intentionality, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to make the small decisions today that shape the life you want tomorrow.

In this episode of Between Sundays, we're talking about one of the most overlooked ministries in the church: hospitality.

Hospitality isn't just the job of greeters or first impressions teams. It's the responsibility of every believer. Every smile, every conversation, every invitation, and every intentional moment has the potential to become someone's turning point with God.

Through powerful stories from ministry, leadership, and even the restaurant industry, we explore why excellence may get people through the doors—but hospitality is what makes them want to come back. We discuss how creating a welcoming culture removes barriers, opens hearts, and partners with God to change lives.

Because every Sunday is someone's first Sunday. Every Sunday is someone's hardest Sunday. And every Sunday is an opportunity for God to use you.

Whether you're a leader, volunteer, or simply call the church home, this conversation will challenge you to see hospitality as more than a handshake...it is a ministry that points people to Jesus.
