Loneliness is on the rise, but true friendship is still possible—and necessary. In this episode, we dive into the loneliness epidemic and the key traits that define deep, heart-level friendships. We’ll explore how to intentionally build a strong support network, recognize and navigate unhealthy relationships, and offer hope to those who have given up on friendship altogether. If you’ve ever felt disconnected or struggled to find the right people in your life, this conversation with Connie Bernard, the wife of the UPCI general superintendent, will help you take the next steps toward lasting, life-giving friendships.
This episode is part of the "Necessary Friends" series on our January and February podcasts. The series begins with episode 23, "Necessary Friends Part 1," with Ellerie Saucer.
