Episode 100 - How To Handle “Frenemies” w/Dannah Gresh

Jesus was a good friend - he stayed in relationships even when they were difficult. 

Our guest today, Dannah Gresh, teaches us how to imitate Jesus in our friendships. Founder of the mom and tween girl ministry called TrueGirl, Dannah noticed that when her daughter was 9, she was already feeling that pressure to grow up too soon - to digest topics that weren’t age appropriate. She realized she was not alone in this feeling, and from this birthed a ministry that now encourages moms and girls globally to grow closer to Jesus together. Is it possible to raise children to love Jesus, imitate him and be a good friend to others even when it’s tough? The answer is yes, and you’ll hear some great stories to help you navigate the “how” from Dannah.

Ready to redefine friendship according to Scripture? Let’s go!
