Having Good Friends

Nov 4, 2026  •  Pastor Josh Wootton

What does it look like to be a good friend to people who have different spiritual beliefs? How should Christians relate to non-believers, those who claim to follow Christ but live contrary to His commands, and fellow believers from different churches and denominations?


In this episode of the Know & Do podcast, we explore the biblical principles of Christian friendship and the importance of building relationships that help us grow in faith and glorify God. Drawing from Scripture, we examine five categories of friendship and consider how each relationship should shape the way we live, love, and serve.


We’ll discuss why Christians should pursue friendships with non-believers while maintaining wise boundaries, why genuine Christian fellowship requires more than simply claiming to follow Jesus, and how relationships with fellow believers can strengthen us in our walk with Christ.


Ultimately, we’ll consider how to prioritize our friendships, invest in our church family, and surround ourselves with people who encourage us to love Jesus more deeply.
