In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Brad Hambrick about his book, Transformative Friendships: 7 Questions to Deepen Any Relationship. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are:

• What makes a biblical view on friendship distinct from popular understanding?
• What are some reasons we might struggle to enjoy or pursue meaningful relationships, even within the body of Christ?
• What kinds of questions can we ask ourselves as we seek to nourish friendships with wisdom and intentionality?
• How can we best enjoy our friendships, whatever depth they may be at?
• How might exploring "what's fun" together in friendships be helpful? How might it lead to the friendship "stalling out?"
• How can the local church promote the cultivation of transformative friendships?
• What hope and help does the gospel offer to the person who is struggling to experience meaningful friendships in their life?
