EP 38 // When It Rains, It Pours: Finding Strength in Lifelong Friendships

A sudden summer downpour, a cancelled softball game, and a frantic drive for behind-the-wheel training almost made me cancel a long-awaited lunch date. But pushing through the rain reminded me of a much larger story that began twenty-five years ago.
In this episode, I’m looking back at the heavy, chaotic autumn of 2001—when a global crisis changed my wedding plans and a simple invitation for egg salad sandwiches introduced me to a lifelong friend. We dive into the story of David and Jonathan from 1 Samuel, exploring what it means to "strengthen a friend's hand in God," and why we shouldn't let the busy rainstorms of life keep us from the relationships that matter most.
In this episode:
White-knuckle driving and navigating a chaotic summer schedule.
Memories of 2001: How a disrupted missions trip led to a providential meeting.
The theology of friendship: Lessons from David and Jonathan in the wilderness.
A reflection on Proverbs 17:17 and making time for community when life gets busy.
