Episode 233: Why Can’t We Stay Friends? | Bryan Loritts

Hole In My Heart Podcast

Friday, January 3, 2025 - 42 minutes

Happy new year! Let’s talk about friendships? 

 

Author and pastor Bryan Loritts joins us today to discuss:

 

  • Are friendships seasonal? (Should they be?)
  • How can we make and keep lifelong friends?
  • How should we think about boundaries with friends?

 

| Highlights |

  • “The reason so many of our relationships are superficial is we are too scared of taking the time and the risk to walk in truth with each other.” 
  • “There is a place to draw boundaries. I am just cautious against that being our reflex reaction the first time someone does something to us.”
  • “Many people confuse transparency with authenticity. We have to be authentic with everyone but transparent with few.”
  • “We are so busy so we don’t make time and margin for the longing of our souls for friends.”
