  • Episode 5: I Need More Christian Friends
    Oct 1 2024

    It's been often said, "If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together." One of the most important things in the life of a believer is the people they surround themselves with, because we will become most like our five closest friends! In this episode, Ryan talks about the importance of who you hang around and how to identify if someone is truly following Jesus the way they say they are. One of the greatest goals of the Enemy is to isolate and distance ourselves from people, but if we want to thrive spiritually, we are going to need friends for the fire!
