Today, we’re going to continue the conversation on friendship with Kelly Needham. Kelly and I talked about something that isn’t a super popular topic of conversation, but that we’ve probably all experienced on some level: unhealthy friendships. We ran the gamut on everything from common signs of unhealthy friendships to how the gospel frees us to really love one another earnestly, since love covers over a multitude of sins. So you’ll know her a little better before we get started, Kelly first began writing and speaking to her husband Jimmy’s fan base in 2008 as they traveled together. She is a regular contributor for Revive Our Hearts, and her writing has been featured at Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, The Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission, Eternal Perspectives Ministries, and Crosswalk.   SCRIPTURE REFERENCES Genesis 3 John 17:3   KELLY’S RESOURCES When People are Big and God is Small by Ed Welch Knowing God by JI Packer The Path of Loneliness by Elisabeth Elliot   KELLY’S SIMPLE JOYS Sitting outside Watching her kids grow up Reading fun novels   OTHER RESOURCES Get updates on Kelly Needham’s Book Episode 49 on Conflict and Community with PaToya Hall Episode 69 on Humility with Hannah Anderson   DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What is the root of loneliness?
