Friendships have always been a part of God's original design. We were made and formed by God to be in relationship with him, and with each other. It's how he designed us.

You already know this - you know how much better life is when you have friends who love you and walk through life with you. We weren't meant to do life alone. But as technology is growing, and we're building more relationships online, there's a relational deficit in our culture. And for many of us it may feel like we're more surrounded by people than we've ever been, yet more isolated than we've ever been.

This study talks practically about how to build friendships that withstand the test of time. We need people who rejoice when we rejoice, weep when we weep, and are with us through the good times and the hard times. By following Jesus's example, and the example of others we see in Scripture, we'll build a relationship of the best way to build these kinds of friendships.
