Discussion Questions

  1. Who are your friends? Is there anyone in your life who knows everything about you? 
  2. Put your finger on some of the hindrances to friendship in your life. Is it location? Time?
  3. What one change might you make to give yourself a better chance at true friendship? 
  4. How would believing the gospel more deeply improve your friendships? (Do you need to be stronger or softer?)
