Called To Be Friends, Called To Serve
In a culture obsessed with dividing lines — politics, race, wealth, worldview — it feels nearly impossible to imagine genuine friendships forming across the gaps. And yet, that’s exactly what happened between John Perkins and Howard Ahmanson Jr. Their story isn’t about ignoring differences; it’s about God transforming those differences into the soil where trust and love could take root. That’s what real friendship does. It points us back to Jesus, the friend who holds us together.
Because We Are Made To Belong
Friendship is more than just being kind; it’s about love that’s tender and fierce, raw and vulnerable. We’re made to belong, to share our stories and to fight for each other’s hearts. Authentic connection — guided by God’s love — transforms superficial relationships into lifelong connections, as we lean into courage, honesty and grace together.
