All My Friends Have Issues

Accountability between treasured friends who follow Jesus is designed by God to be a mutual source of encouragement, comfort, and restoration. Be wise and love those who rebuke you. Also, be loving and wisely rebuke those you love, according to the Scriptures, using these steps: rebuke, comfort, and attempt to restore.

Anytime we are in authentic conversation about our lives with other friends who love Jesus, we are on holy ground.
