It’s often said that we choose our friends but not our family, yet both are considered gifts from God. Imagine life without any family or friends-it would be incredibly lonely. Without those close connections to interact with, share meals with, exchange ideas and opinions, seek advice,and spend quality time with, life wouldn’t be as fulfilling. God recognized this need, which is why He gave us family and allowed us to choose friends. However, we often take our family and friends for granted. In this podcast,Art explains why we have family and friends and how it’s part of God’s plan for us. He also discusses navigating complex relationships with family and friends and emphasizes the importance of valuing and being grateful to the Lord for our family and friends as Christians.
