517 // Friendship on Mission: Loving Like Jesus Without Losing Yourself (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a reminder that comfort isn’t just something we receive—it’s something God uses to strengthen us and prepare us to pour into others. We’re diving into 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 and exploring how God’s compassion isn’t passive—it equips us. We also continue our devotional study from Friendship by Gregg Matte with a powerful truth: Jesus was a friend of sinners, not to participate in their sin, but to show them another way—a better way.

If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate relationships that stretch your comfort zone, or how to love others well without losing your footing, this one’s for you. We’re unpacking what it means to be a reflection of Christ’s love while setting wise boundaries. Plus, we talk about how pride can keep us from receiving the comfort God sends through others—and how humility opens the door to deeper healing and connection.

Let this episode remind you: God’s comfort strengthens, equips, and flows through us. And yes, Sis—there’s still more beautiful connections ahead in your journey.
