#717 The Hand Towel Test & Proverbs 11 – The Blueprint for Real Friendship

At 2:30 in the morning, on the hard floor of a freezing Whittier College dorm room, Kelly discovered what true friendship really looks like.
His best friend Will—brother for over 41 years—rose from the comfort of his warm bed to “help.” But instead of a blanket or a pillow… Will handed Kelly a hand towel.

That night became more than a funny college memory. It turned into a lesson about humility, integrity, and character—the kind that Proverbs 11 describes so perfectly.

In this episode, Kelly shares how:

• Real friends sharpen you, not just comfort you

• Integrity and humility build the foundation of lifelong relationships

• True generosity is rooted in doing right for the right reasons

• Laughter can heal and strengthen the bond between brothers

• Proverbs 11 shows us that doing good business and being good people are inseparable

Here’s the VIBE: Friendship built on truth lasts longer than comfort built on convenience.

Even a hand towel can teach you how to love better when your heart’s in the right place.

So here’s the question: Who’s the “Will” in your life—and do they know how much you appreciate them?
