    We all need friends who show up when life gets messy, friends who don’t just offer kind words but walk alongside us in our struggles. These “friends of intentionality” reflect the heart of Christ, offering love, presence, and action in the moments we need it most.

Most were kind and encouraging, some were hurtful and dismissive, but then there were a few, a precious few, who were what I call "friends of intentionality". These ...read more

The only exceptions will be Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.” (NLT) These are the words of God spoken regarding two men Joshua and Caleb, both of whom were good friends.
