We have upset, upheaval, and unrest at almost every major turn in our world right now. And every keyboard warrior has the answer to every one of them.

One remedy I think we forget: friendship.

It’s the friend who will come for me. A friend who will go into the dark for me. A friend who will say, it’s okay that you got yourself lost, I’ll help you find your way. A friend who will say, I’m on my way. A friend who understands that wayfinding is not my strength but doesn’t tease me about it until I’m out of the woods.

That is friendship.

And how well we would do if we leaned into that on a daily basis.

No matter your season of friendship — an awkward season, looking for a revival in that area, or are over-the-moon grateful for the friends in your life — listen in here or read right below!
