Friend-ish: Reclaiming Real Friendship in a Culture of Confusion Audiobook (Free)

Bible teacher Kelly Needham debunks our world’s constricted, small view of friendship and casts a richer, more life-giving, biblical vision for friendship as God meant it to become.

As the family unit develops more unstable and the common age of marriage increases, a shift is taking place in our culture: for many people, friends right now play the role of family. And just as with family interactions, our friendships often don’t turn out quite as we envisioned or hoped, and we wonder, Is there a better way to do this?

In Friend-ish, Kelly Needham takes a close take a look at what Scripture says about friendship. She reveals the distorted look at most of us have from it and recasts a glorious vision for the Christian understanding. By teaching us how to acknowledge symptoms of idolatry and dependency, she equips us to understand and address the issues that occur in friendship–from neediness to discord as well as sexual enticement. With hard-fought intelligence, a clear watch of Scripture, and been-there perspective, Needham reorients us toward the purposeful, adoring relationships most of us crave that ultimately bring us nearer to God.
