How To Be A Great Friend | Special Sermon From Bryce Johnson

In this message, Bryce Johnson of UNPACKIN' it Ministries breaks down what it takes to experience deep, real, and thriving friendships - both with Jesus and with the people in our lives.Drawing from John 15 and his own experiences in sports media, Bryce challenges us to stop "holding on to the side of the pool" and go deep in our relationships.The 4 I's of Being a Great Friend:Invest: Pay the price of friendship by giving of yourself, avoiding isolation, and choosing wise, Jesus-centered connections.Initiate: Make the first move, embrace vulnerability, and pursue deeper conversations, authenticity, and mutual confession.Inquire: Show genuine care by asking meaningful questions, listening intently, and taking an interest in others' lives.Intentional: Purposefully schedule time, encourage one another, and build lasting relationships instead of settling for surface-level interactions.When our friendship with Jesus serves as our foundation, it transforms how we love, serve, and connect with everyone around us.Find out more about UNPACKIN' it Ministries: HERESubscribe to our YouTube channel!
