Cultivating God-Centered Friendships with Arika Davenport of She Pursues Purpose
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:-
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.
-
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 😉).
-
Say, “Let’s Be Friends” Sometimes, we overthink the process. Building friendships is as simple as extending a hand and starting the conversation.
-
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.
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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
