Having healthy friendships is about encouraging one another to have a growing faith every day. We can spot healthy friendships when they encourage us to do what feeds our soul: spend time with God and others and use our gifts. We're likely to find these kinds of friendships among other people who share our faith.

Encouraging each other to make wise decisions means being vulnerable sometimes, ready to be understanding, and extend to grace to each other. Scripture talks a lot about sharing your struggles with your brother or sister and being willing to trust that you've got each other's backs when times get tough. So find some friendships where you can be vulnerable and bring each other closer to Jesus.

Spend time praying for your friendships and ask God to show you someone with whom you can be open and accountable.
