What if godly friendship wasn’t about being liked—but being loyal?

In this episode of The Path of Wisdom, we journey through Proverbs 17:17, 18:24, and 27:6 to uncover the gospel’s vision for real friendship—one that shows up in storms, stands close when others walk away, and speaks truth even when it stings.

From the Chilean mine collapse to a quiet moment on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood… from Tolkien’s late-night challenge to C.S. Lewis to Jesus’ unwavering love for His flawed disciples—we explore how true friendship is costly, courageous, and Christlike.

You’ll discover:

- Why presence is more powerful than platitudes

- How proximity reflects the love of God

- What faithful wounds really mean—and why they heal

- How the gospel forms us into friends who stay, speak truth, and love well

If you’ve ever longed for deeper relationships—or felt the ache of shallow ones—this episode will stir your heart and give you a blueprint for friendship that lasts.
