<p>In this heartfelt episode of "Spirit-Filled Girl Talk," we delve into how friendship in your 40s is essential not just for connection, but also for spiritual growth and discipleship. Discover how God employs Spirit-filled friendships as a transformative force in our lives. From deep prayers to navigating difficult conversations, we focus on walking alongside one another in faith, encouragement, and intentionality.</p><p><br /></p><p>We discuss topics such as how friendship can serve as a form of discipleship in midlife and the courage it takes to speak the truth in love. We also explore the power of prayer among friends and how creating a safe space allows for grief, healing, and joy. Most importantly, we share how to present ourselves as spiritually present friends rather than perfect ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>Using the Biblical example of Paul and Timothy, we reflect on mentorship and the mutual trust that fosters spiritual growth. Join us in a journey toward greater intentionality in friendships, where we can celebrate joys and sorrows like friends united in faith. </p><p><br /></p><p>As we invite you to reflect on your friendships this week, think about who you are discipling or who is pouring into your life. Let’s live out the call to true friendship, supporting and uplifting each other as we grow spiritually together.</p><p><br /></p><p>Book Recommendations:</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3H0KuCn" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><em>Jezebel, The Witch is Back</em></a>, by Landon Schott</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3S6NShm" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><em>Together Is a Beautiful Place: Finding, Keeping, and Loving Our Friends</em></a><em>, </em>Bailey T.
