Cultivating God-Centered Friendships with Arika Davenport of She Pursues Purpose

Click HERE to Listen! 

Friendship is a gift, but God-centered friendships? Those are life-changing! In this episode, I’m sitting down with my dear friend Arika Davenport, founder of She Pursues Purpose, to talk about what it means to cultivate friendships that not only encourage but also point you back to Christ.

Here’s a sneak peek of what we dive into:

 Key Takeaways:
  1. Commit to a God-Centered Life Before you can cultivate God-centered friendships, your life has to reflect your commitment to Christ. It’s about making Him the center of everything, including your relationships.

  2. Get Intentional About Connections Community matters. If you’re serious about building friendships rooted in faith, you’ve got to go where the women of faith are! (Hint: we’ve got some great communities for you—keep reading 😉).

  3. Say, “Let’s Be Friends” Sometimes, we overthink the process. Building friendships is as simple as extending a hand and starting the conversation.

  4. Give What You Hope to Find Want a friend who listens, prays with you, and shows up? Be that kind of friend! Reciprocity is key in God-centered relationships.

🎙️ Behind the Scenes

Arika and I also share how we met and the journey of building our friendship. We’ll unpack the difference between Christian friendships and God-centered friendships (trust us, there’s a difference!). Spoiler alert: God-centered friendships sharpen you spiritually and hold you accountable to your purpose.
