Can Christians be close friends with people who don’t share their faith?
In this week’s episode, Pastor Nathan and Pastor Matt explore how Jesus modeled relationships with those outside the faith, and what that means for us today. Is it dangerous to surround yourself with non-believers? Or is that exactly what we’re called to do?
We dive into practical and biblical guidance on:
- The difference between influence and compromise
- Why Jesus was called a “friend of sinners”
- Setting healthy boundaries while showing love
- Avoiding isolation in Christian bubbles
- How your closest relationships shape your walk with Christ
Whether you’re struggling with how to stay grounded or wondering how to be a light in dark places—this episode is for you.
