Ep. 23: Soul Sisters: God Cares About Who You Do Life With

Friendship - not just the casual, brunch-and-shopping kind, but the deep, soul-nurturing connections that transform our lives. What makes these relationships so powerful? How do we find them? And why does God care so deeply about who we do life with?

"Show me your friends and I'll show you you," shares Trina Jones in this intimate conversation about authentic friendship. This simple yet profound observation becomes a doorway into exploring how our closest connections shape our character, faith, and even our relationship with God.

Drawing from nearly two decades of friendship, Kelley Johnson and her "besties" Stephanie Blakely and Trina Jones unpack what makes spirit-led friendships different. They share vulnerable stories about walls they've built, how discernment guided their connections, and the beautiful journey of finding people whose "hearts match" your own.

For women struggling to find deep connections, this episode offers practical wisdom without sugarcoating the challenges. Learn why working on being "a friend of God" first creates the foundation for meaningful human relationships, how to discern who deserves your vulnerability, and why cultural Christianity often masquerades as authentic spiritual connection.

Whether you're craving deeper friendships or wanting to enrich the ones you have, this conversation will remind you that true friendship isn't about finding perfect people - it's about connecting with those willing to do real life together, from the mountaintops to the valleys.
