#2: Friendship

In this episode of Kinship, the ladies discuss friendship in the local church. 
How do we define friendship?
What are some qualities that you look for in a close friend?
How do we as Christians obey the commandment to love all people?
How does this translate into church community?

C.S. Lewis “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”

    First off, I love the quotes!! It’s so cool getting to know each of you. This really made me think about my own friendships and I admire everyone’s vulnerability displayed! I am so encouraged! Keep seeking His kingdom!

#67: Confession and Vulnerability *LIVE*

Kinship LIVE! In August, Bethany Baptist Church had its first women's conference . It was a joy to be present among women that wanted to be open and kill sin so that they aren't overtaken by it. We did our first live episode in front of a live audience. Also, we had more than two listeners!

#5: Dating (Purpose and Expectations)

In today's episode we tackle the wide world of dating . It's so wide we had to do two episodes and even then there's still so much to talk about. As married women now, we take a look at what dating was for us and how it could be for Christians. The four of us dated differently and that's ok! We all have our ideals and convictions that lead us to speak on the subject, but none of us claim to have THE answer in how to date biblically. We would all agree Christ Jesus must not be ignored and should dictate what parameters to set. It is wisdom issues such as these that make dialogue and encouragement among church women so vital to growth in every area of our lives. Hope you pass it along to your church family.
