When Friendship Works or Hurts

Friendships are important. Today, I share some obersations of friendship and also reflect on the friendship Jonathan and David shared from the Bible. We need friendships to grow and have accountability. Healthy friendships welcome progress and push us in the right direction personally, professionally and spiritually. Here are some helpful questions to ponder: How do you define a healthy friendship and why? What is the longest friendship you have and why? What is a lost friendship you wish you still had and why? If you could find a new friend, what would you be looking for and why? Follow Tim DeTellis on Instagram [http://www.instagram.com/timdetellis].
