Faith and Friendship

Laura Wright celebrates God’s gift of friendship and explores its heartwarming power by meeting Christians whose faith has been enriched by the love of their friends.\n\nShe meets with Sheridan Voysey, a Christian author and broadcaster. From his research, he shares insights that show friendship is really suffering in our modern, busy lives. He highlights the value that the Bible places on friendship and offers advice on cultivating deeper and longer-lasting relationships. \n\nLaura also chats with friends Mandy and Nicki, who have been inseparable for decades. They tell Laura how they believe God has called them to use their talents and their friendship to share their faith.
