The nature and origin of spiritual community
The gifts of spiritual friendship
Choosing and cultivating companionship
Building enduring friendships
LOCATION: Online via ZOOM
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 20, 2024, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern Daylight Time)
"The teaching about Barnabas being an encourager, generous and showing humility was very helpful for me. I realized I have many friends but need to go deeper with one or two. Appreciate so much how well Steve communicated!"

"It was an interesting presentation well grounded in Scripture. Toward the end, it occurred to me that more than a few of us may have signed up because of an inner longing for such a friendship. At that point, I would have been tempted as leader to ask those who hung around if they’d like to pray for one another in this regard. It was a heavily laden moment, and it made me want to reach out to those two women in prayer."
