Hello again! In today’s episode, I had the honor of interviewing Grace Valentine! We dive into the complexities of friendships, particularly among Christian women, and discuss the challenges of forming genuine connections, the importance of discernment in recognizing red flags, and the value of identifying green flags in friendships. Grace shares insights from her book, 'The Better Friend,' emphasizing the need for vulnerability, accountability, and the significance of showing up for one another in times of need. We go over everything from overcoming insecurities to the importance of placing hope in Jesus rather than in people.
