TGIF, Today God Is First by Os Hillman

When Jesus said, “I have called you friends” (John 15:15), He extended an extraordinary invitation—one that transforms the way we see friendship. Yet today, many struggle to experience relationships as God intended. The good news? True friendship, rooted in biblical principles, is not only possible—it’s life-changing. In this week’s TGIF@Work Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Greg Books, a mentor in biblical relationships, to unpack the timeless wisdom of “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). Here’s what you’ll discover: • Break free from broken relationship patterns: Learn why modern approaches often leave us empty and how biblical principles can restore and deepen your connections. • The 3 pillars of true friendship: Jesus modeled relationships built on trust, love, and sacrifice—principles that still transform friendships today. • Strengthen every relationship in your life: Whether it’s your family, faith community, or friends, apply these principles to experience richer, lasting connections. • Avoid surface-level friendships: Learn how to cultivate deeper, purpose-driven relationships that reflect God’s eternal design. Don’t settle for shallow connections. Discover how to experience friendship as God intended—relationships that nourish your soul and reflect His love.

The Bible teaches us that Jesus had all authority, yet He never sought political or earthly power in the natural realm. His authority transcended human structures, rooted instead in divine purpose and spiritual victory. Similarly, God grants authority to His followers through various means, often tied to their calling and life experiences. This week we explore how God bestows spiritual and earthly authority on his people.
