Covenant Friendship: The Missing Piece

What if the biggest problems in your life aren’t actually the biggest problems? What if the real issue beneath all the others is that we’re doing life alone?

In this first episode of the Made for People Podcast, I sit down with two close friends to talk about the themes of my book, Made for People. We explore why deep, committed friendship—what I call covenant friendship—is not just a nice idea but a necessity for walking with Jesus.

We discuss:

✔️ Why drifting from friends is often the hidden cause behind struggles in faith, marriage, parenting, and career.

✔️ The idea of covenant friendship—what it means, why it’s different from casual friendships, and how it changes everything.

✔️ How friendship may be the most effective form of evangelism in a cultural moment of skepticism and isolation.

✔️ Our personal stories of finding covenant friends and why that journey matters for you too.

Join us for this conversation on why we’re all made for people—and why finding the right people might be the most important thing you ever do.
