Spiritual Friendship
Spiritual Friendship may at first glance seem like a relatively simple and straightforward topic, possibly even unimportant enough to devote an entire CE class to. If this is your thinking, I want to tell you that you can’t be more wrong. Spiritual friendships are not only some of the sweetest and most precious relationships, but they are as complicated as they are necessary.
Session One: Created for Connection
What exactly is friendship? How is the importance of these relationships rooted in God’s biblical design? What happens when we under or over value this relationship? Why are deep relationships so challenging?
Session Two: A picture of true friendship
In this session, we cover 5 things that characterise true friendships and get practical with nuances that don’t often get spoken about. If friendship is crucial, what does that mean for different personality types? If friendship is close, then what must we do to seek or maintain that closeness without suffocating it? If friendship is candid, how do we love in truth without damaging it?
Session Three: Cultivating Connection
This session gets very practical by looking at how friendship with Christ impacts the way we experience friendship. Who can we become close friends with? How do we cultivate healthy friendships? What do we do with broken friendships or disappointments in friendships?
