We often talk about God-centered relationships in terms of dating and marriage… but tend to undermine the importance and value of God-centered FRIENDSHIPS, which are essential for our mental, emotional, spiritual, and holistic health and thriving (and yet seem to be hard to find!).

Today, we have a VERY special episode in store for you. As a friend, spiritual brother, and mentor to Alex, Paul Sohn has been a constant source of encouragement, challenge, and accountability in Alex's life.

In this episode, we share an intimate conversation with Alex and Paul. Join us as they reflect on their friendship and peel back the layers on how to cultivate friendships that spur each other on in faith - despite physical distance and life’s transitions.

If you're stuck feeling lonely or are just curious about how to have deep, meaningful relationships, we hope this heartfelt conversation about the beauty and power of God-centered friendships fuels you to take tangible steps in that direction.
