In a culture that so easily glorifies romantic love over all others, it can be easy to over look one of the greatest gifts of all: friendship.
True friendship transforms us as we journey through the ordinary and the extraordinary moments of life together. And friendship with Jesus is no exception – indeed, it is the greatest invitation into a relationship that sees us forever changed for the better.
When Jesus walked the earth, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were some of his closest friends. He loved them just as they were but equally empowered them to become so much more. Here, Amy Boucher Pye unpacks the dynamics of this remarkable friendship, inviting you to be transformed by the same love that shaped their lives.
Wherever you are on your life’s journey, let yourself experience grounded faith, boundless joy, and profound peace through an ever-deepening friendship with Jesus.
