The friendships we cultivate shape our lives in profound ways. But what happens when we intentionally place God at the center of these relationships? Cally Logan, author and storyteller, joins us to explore the transformative power of God-centered friendships and how they differ from ordinary connections.

Friendship becomes something sacred when two people surrender the timing, purpose, and direction of their relationship to God's authorship. Cally shares how these divinely orchestrated connections provide mutual accountability that fosters spiritual growth for both parties. We discuss the biblical examples of friendship—from Job's companions who sat with him in his suffering to the covenant bond between Jonathan and David that transcended family loyalty.

Many women find themselves becoming what Cally calls "bellhop friends"—constantly carrying others' emotional baggage while having no one to turn to with their own struggles. We unpack the importance of setting healthy boundaries and recognize that some friendships are meant for seasons while others are lifelong. Cally vulnerably reveals how God once showed her she had "outgrown" a friendship—a painful but necessary realization that allowed both women to follow their unique spiritual paths.

For those who've been deeply wounded by past relationships, Cally offers hope and practical wisdom: "Don't determine your worth on people who didn't know how to love you well." The path to healing involves surrendering our desire for connection to God's perfect timing and selection while developing discernment about who to let into our inner circle.

This conversation goes beyond surface-level friendship advice to explore how we can cultivate relationships that reflect God's design for community. Whether you're longing for deeper connections, navigating difficult transitions, or praying for God-aligned friendships, you'll find encouragement to trust God's authorship of your relationships.
