Jesus Doesn’t Call You a Servant. He Calls You a Friend. | John 15:12-17

from Inspire Create Manifest · host Joe Longo

What if your relationship with God was never meant to feel distant?In John 15:12-17, Jesus says something extraordinary: “I no longer call you servants... Instead, I have called you friends.”In this episode of Friends with God, Joe explores the passage that inspired the name of the entire podcast and what it might mean to actually live every day as a friend of Jesus.Friendship isn't built through striving or checking religious boxes. It's built through presence, conversation, trust, love, and simply spending time together. Joe explores how prayer can become an ongoing conversation, how abiding means staying connected, and why Jesus' command to love one another may be far simpler and more powerful than we sometimes make it.What if Jesus isn't waiting somewhere far away for you to find Him? What if He's already sitting across the kitchen table?Grab your coffee. Open up John 15. And let's talk about what it means to be Friends with God.
