109: Cultivating Authentic Friendships with Amanda Anderson

How can we cultivate authentic friendships with other women? What does it look like to be a good friend, to find good friends and to build strong friendships? We’re all looking for close friendships but what are some guidelines for building strong Christian relationships?
 
Today on the podcast, author and speaker Amanda Anderson and I talk about how to be vulnerable in relationships without over-sharing, how to handle toxic relationships, setting boundaries in friendships, what keeps us from being real, and other often-not-talked-about issues in friendships. 
 
We were made to live in community and to share together. Join us for this insightful conversation on some helpful advice on how to grow friendships with other women in a God-honoring way.
