• Challenges to Friendship (Friendship #6)

  Friendships bring with them all kinds of blessings, but how do we handle the challenges that also come with them? How should we respond to changes in circumstances, for example when friends move away? Being vulnerable is so important for building friendships, but isn’t it risky? And how can we speak and receive hard truths when we do things which hurt each other?  We’re joined by Kevin Morris, host of the Professional Third Wheel podcast, to talk through some of the challenges of friendship and share our experience of how to navigate them. Resources mentioned and related Professional Third Wheel Podcast In Praise of Awkward Conversations Andrew Bunt Why I’m Glad My Friendships Are Being Disrupted Andrew Bunt A Beautiful Mess Ed Shaw Why I Need My Single Friends Alison Bolton

• Talking with Friends (Friendship #4)

  So far in this series we’ve talked about why we need friendships and the difference Jesus makes to them, but what does that look like in reality? Adam and Ashleigh each sit down with a friend to talk about how their friendship has brought them closer to God and taught them more about him, and share their reflections on what has helped their friendships to thrive. Why not share this episode with a friend and let them know how much you appreciate them? Resources mentioned and related The Radiant Dawn Tom Parsons From Glory Into Glory Tom Parsons Three or More Andrew Bunt  Friendship and Intimacy (Friendship #3)

  Isn’t intimacy all about sex? How and why should we pursue intimacy in our friendships? We’re joined by Katherine (Kaleidoscope contributor and part of the Being Human team at the Evangelical Alliance) for a conversation about different kinds of intimacy, how we can practically cultivate deeper and more intimate friendships, and how to navigate some of the risks inherent to pursuing intimacy in friendships.   Resources mentioned and related Kaleidoscope Relationships Matter Evangelical Alliance Have You Been Intimate With Anyone Recently?

• Friendship and Jesus (Friendship #2)

  How does being friends with Jesus change the way we do friendship, with Christians and non-Christians? What are the most encouraging and challenging things about the friendship Jesus offers us? And how do we practically go about addressing the friendship deficit in our own lives, while having realistic expectations of ourselves and our friends?  We’re joined by Vaughan Roberts for a challenging, encouraging and liberating conversation about the joys and limits of human friendship, and how knowing Jesus as our friend transforms our view of and approach to friendships. Vaughan is the rector of St Ebbe’s church in Oxford and author of True Friendship. Resources mentioned and relatedTrue Friendship Vaughan Roberts Emotional Dependency: A Threat to Close Friendships Lori Thorkelson Rentzel Emotional Dependency Andrew Bunt A Little Life Hanya Yanagihara   The Lord of the Rings J R R Tolkien Wicked Wendell Berry short stories and novels Politics, Poverty and Belief: A Political Memoir Frank Field
