Episode 16: Unequally Yoked Friendships — When Loyalty and Obedience Collide

Episode 16: Unequally Yoked Friendships — When Loyalty and Obedience Collide Friendships shape us more than we often realize. In this episode, we have an honest, heart-to-heart conversation about unequally yoked friendships — the kind that feel heavy, confusing, or spiritually draining, even when there’s love and history attached. I share personal lessons God has taught me about loyalty, discernment, and alignment, and why loving someone doesn’t always mean walking every season with them. We talk about recognizing spiritual misalignment, navigating guilt and grief, setting boundaries with grace, and understanding the difference between culture’s view of friendship and God’s wisdom. This episode isn’t about cutting people off or judging anyone — it’s about clarity, protection, and obedience. If you’ve ever felt torn between holding on and moving forward, this conversation is for you. ✨ Grow Deeper with Community & Resources: Visit leilanijones.com to join The Lightroom — a sisterhood of women walking in faith together — and explore The Study Room, where you’ll find Bible study guides and Scripture resources to help you grow deeper in your walk with God. 📝 Journal Prompt: Which friendships in my life are helping me walk closer to God, and which ones are quietly pulling me away from His purpose?
