You love your people… until people get complicated. 

Friendship and community can be fun and life-giving, but they can also require vulnerability, forgiveness, accountability and a willingness to let someone see what’s actually going on.

In this episode of Girl Talk, Carol, Kelly and Tricia are talking about something Jesus never said: “You have to do life alone.”

The truth is, we were created for the “one anothers” - encouraging one another, praying for one another, carrying one another’s burdens and helping one another become more like Jesus. And those kinds of friendships don’t usually happen overnight. They’re built slowly, through showing up, honest conversations and choosing to let people in.

The girls talk about the tough side of community: confession, accountability, gossip, church hurt and what happens when trusting people feels risky. Because yes, community is risky. But isolation costs us something too. We may just find that the relationships that have hurt us are also the places where God can bring some of our deepest healing.
