One honest conversation and a heartfelt text can completely shift our perspective, so important to have friends who don’t just hype you up, but gently point you back to Jesus. Friends who drag you deeper into your frustration and validate your anger probably don't leave you feeling the best. Remember our words land deeper than we realize, so consider this a challenge to be more intentional, more loving, and more aware of what we speak over the people in our lives. If you’ve ever needed someone to remind you of truth on a rough day, or you want to become that kind of friend for someone else, this episode will speak to you.

Between friends? In a Marriage? In this episode we talk about honoring the voices God placed around you, and learning the difference between trying to “win” in relationships and actually building something healthy.

In this episode of I Gotta Confess, we talk about the kind of friendships that actually lead to freedom. Accountability can feel uncomfortable but it is healing. If you’ve been hurt by people, guarded your heart, or wondered if real friendship is even possible anymore… this conversation is for you. So we leave you with some challenges today: Challenge #1: Pray for a Godly Friend If you don’t currently have someone you trust — someone who is biblically aligned, will lead you to Jesus, and is safe to confess to — believe God for that person. Challenge #2: Ask for Loving Feedback If you do have a trusted friend, or spouse, take the hard step and ask for feedback. Go into the conversation knowing they love you and want to see you grow. Position your heart to allow correction to lead to growth and freedom. #IGottaConfess #FaithAndConnection #ChristianWomen #WomenOfFaith #LonelyButLoved #RealCommunity #HealingInCommunity #TrustingGod #BiblicalFriendship #HeartHealing #ChristianLife #SpeakLife #KingdomWomen #FaithOverFear #ChristianEncouragement</p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What if the reason you still feel stuck isn’t a lack of faith, but a lack of real connection?
