“As image bearers, we are born to connect. Relationships are where we find the meaning that defines our lives. It is deep, intimate, loving connections, bearing the mark of our triune God, that transform and rewire our souls.” – The Connected Life 

When we look at rediscovering the lost art of friendship, a primary element is the need to strengthen friendships. We must grow deep roots to the point where we can truly say we have deep, intimate, loving connections. These are the friendships that can withstand disagreements, misunderstandings, confusion and other trials. In this fourth episode, host Jason Wieland and Dr. Todd Hall, Clinical Psychologist, Professor of Psychology and author of The Connected Life, discuss the importance of strengthening friendships and why openness and vulnerability are vital for growing strong, healthy friendships.

Rediscovering the Lost Art of Friendship is a limited-series Saddleback Church podcast responding to the current epidemic of loneliness. Each episode features a conversation between host Jason Wieland and a different ministry leader looking at how to build friendships that last.
