Friendship Therapy – “Be That Friend”
2 Deep Journal Questions
1. What kind of friend has Jesus been to me? How can I reflect that to others, especially in the way I listen, forgive, or speak truth?
(Tip: Think of real-life examples—when did He show up for you, even when you didn’t deserve it?)
2. Is there any bitterness, unmet expectation, or fear in my heart that’s keeping me from real connection? What would it look like to bring that honestly to God?
Small Group Discussion Questions
1. Which of the four points—Be Present, Be Honest, Be Humble, Be Forgiving—do you find most difficult in this season, and why?
2. How has your view of friendship changed as you’ve gotten older? What’s something you used to expect that you no longer do?
3. What’s one time when someone’s honesty with you helped you grow—even if it was hard to hear?
4. Are your friendships more transactional or transformational? What do you think makes the difference?
5. In what ways are you becoming the friend you’re praying for? And where do you feel challenged to grow?
