REAL: A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE OLD & NEW TESTAMENT ON FRIENDSHIP

SERIES OVERVIEW:

It's easy to spot a fake friend (and even easier to be a fake friend at times), but what's not-so-easy is figuring out how to make and keep friendships that are real. Maybe it's just easier to keep our friendships on the surface. Or maybe we've never seen real friendship in real life before. Or maybe we don't actually know anyone we trust enough to be real with. These days, when "friends" are just a click or a follow away, it's more important than ever to figure out what true friendship really looks like. In this 4-week series, we'll explore the words and stories of Jesus, the disciples, Paul, Timothy, David, and Jeremiah to help us understand what authentic friendship can look like. Together, we'll discover that real friends choose each other wisely, show each other grace, comfort each other, and help each other grow.
As our world continues to move towards being more connected, it's becoming impossible to avoid negative, stressful, and scary news. This is a lot for any of us to process, but it can be especially hard for the teenagers we love. Avoiding bad news altogether isn't a realistic option, so how can we help them process difficult things?
