Why is it so hard to make friends?

You have 500 followers on social media, but no one to call when you need a ride to the airport. You're constantly accepting friend requests and answering emails, but who do you talk to when you're going through a hard time?

Join us for The Lost Art of Friendship, a new five-week series happening every weekend at our Saddleback locations and online! You'll learn how to follow Jesus' example for building friendships that stand the test of time.
