The Big Idea Podcast: Reading with Friends -Spiritual Friendship Series, Episode 001
11/09/2025 Duration: 46minFriendship is at the core of who we are. God Himself models perfect relationship in the Trinity, and He invites us into that same kind of connection with one another. And yet, we live in a time when isolation and despair are on the rise—where loneliness is being called an epidemic, and where the lack of meaningful connection is costing lives. All of this points to our deep need for the kind of relationships God has made us for. Welcome to the Big Idea Podcast: Reading with Friends, where each week we invite you to join us as we sit down for a conversation about the weekend’s message and how, together, we can step into the kind of friendship and connection we were made for—friendship with God and with one another. Episode Description: On this first episode, we ask: Why a podcast, and why now? We talk about how the Spiritual Friendship Series came to be, what we’ve learned along the way, and what you can expect in the weeks ahead. We also model what’s to come as we open the Bible with friends and reflect on
