Anchor Points: The Friends Who Love You Enough to Be Honest

Have you ever had a friend tell you something you didn’t want to hear—but needed to?

It’s uncomfortable. It can be awkward. But sometimes, it’s the most loving thing they could do.

That’s the heart of today’s conversation.

Devin Almonte shares a raw moment from her own story of addiction—and how real friends showed up not to enable her, but to challenge her. It was risky. It was bold. But it was love. In a world that prizes affirmation, we’re called to something deeper: truth spoken in love. Because Jesus didn’t come to make us feel better—He came to set us free.

🎧 In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores

Why real friendship is rooted in love, not comfort

What it looks like to speak truth with courage and care

How to be the kind of friend who helps others grow, not stay stuck

📖 Scripture (NIV):

John 15:13 – “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
