Friendology, part 3 – Find Where the Nathans Hang Out
Description
We all long to belong. God designed us for community, and both Scripture and modern
research affirm that the people we walk with shape the people we become. Solomon
wrote, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools su8ers harm” (Proverbs 13:20 ). Science now echoes this truth: our proximity to others directly influences our choices, habits, and even our long-term well-being.
David’s greatest failure came when he isolated himself and stayed behind in Jerusalem
instead of being with his men (2 Samuel 11:1). Imagine how diGerent his story might have
been if he had spent more evenings with Nathan. Healthy friendships don’t just happen —
they’re created when we intentionally place ourselves in environments like groups and
serving teams where wise, godly friendships can grow.
