Befriend: Create Belonging in an Age of Judgment, Isolation, and Fear

We live in a world where real friendshipis hard to find. Suspicious of others and insecure about ourselves, we retreatinto the safety of our small, self-made worlds. Now more than ever, it's easyto avoid people with whom we disagree or whose life experiences don't mirrorour own. Safe among like-minded peers and digital "friends," weÂ reallyÂ don'thave to engage with those who can challenge and enhance our limitedperspectives. Tragically, even the church can become a place that minimizesdiversity and reinforces isolation.
Â
Jesus models a much richer vision for friendship. InÂ BeFriend,popular teacher, Scott Sauls, invites us to see and savor the broad and deeplove of God. In twenty-one eloquent mediatations on what God's love can looklike in our everyday lives, Scott invites us to expand our circle of friends.Â
Â
Scott has met too many people whose first impulse is to fence off theirlives with relational barriers that only end up starving their own souls.
Â
Yes, it's true: Real friendshipis costly. Love does make us vulnerable. But, without risk, our lives willremain impoverished.
Â
Join Scott inÂ BeFriendÂ as he summons you toward diversefriendships that can enrich your life and, in the process, reveal a betterversion of yourself.
