Michelle has invited Christina Hergenrader to guest host a special podcast series called "The Blessings and Burdens of Friendship." We're diving deep into this fascinating world of friendships, sharing stories, insights, and, hopefully, a lot of helpful advice along the way.
One thing that's been on our minds is this idea we like to call "wish dreams." You know, it's that perfect, almost fairytale-like image we all have of what friendship should be. We search high and low for that ideal friendship, sometimes so diligently that we miss the incredible connections God has already placed in front of us.
It's not wrong to have these ideals, but here's the catch: we live in a world filled with imperfect, broken people, ourselves included. Real friendships, which are genuinely meaningful, come with blessings and burdens. But the beautiful part is that God is right there with us in the midst of it all, pouring out His grace, teaching us how to forgive, and weaving our hearts together.
You'll also hear some personal stories from Michelle and Christina about how God brought us the friends we needed the most and the incredible lessons we learned along the way. But here's something we've noticed in our discussions – even in a world where instant connection seems to be at our fingertips, many people feel lonely. Loneliness is a prevalent issue; we will explore why and how we can tackle it together.
So, stay tuned, my friends! We're excited to embark on this friendship journey with you all, sharing our experiences and insights and providing a little companionship in this sometimes lonely world.
