These days, friendships dissolve at the speed of a tweet. Cancel culture is real, and betrayal is often public. But are we the kind of friends we'd want in our corner when we are in a crisis?

Looking at real-life examples of friendships tested in the spotlight – Jessica Mulroney & Meghan Markle, Justin Baldoni & Blake Lively – and with guidance from the Word of God, we see what true friendship looks like and ask ourselves the question: Are we a true friend or a fair-weather friend?

If you are a woman, who has ever yearned for a true friend, this episode is for you.

In the trenches of life, we all crave deep, meaningful friendships. But sometimes we mistake acquaintances for friends? What do we do when those we trust betray us?

This episode explores the deep desire for true friendship, the pain of disloyalty, and how to discern between real friends and mere acquaintances in 2025.

Nuggets of wisdom in this episode

Not everyone you meet is a friend. Learn to differentiate between an acquaintance and a true friend.

Pray for discernment in friendships. Before opening your heart, ask God for wisdom and clarity.

Jesus is the ultimate friend who never fails. When human relationships disappoint, lean on Him for comfort.
