Friendship is one of the most important human relationships. But in a culture focused on romance and the nuclear family, it often gets short shrift. Today, Drs. (and friends) Cindy Aalders and Maxine Hancock join us to talk about the vital importance of friendship––theologically, historically, and personally. What do we lose when we deprioritize friendship? How do we cultivate friendships that hold fast through grief, loss, and disappointment? What are some of the obstacles that inhibit intergenerational and cross-gender friendships––and how can we overcome them? And how does our friendship with each other nurture our friendship with God?

We're diving right into the questions that have been bugging us for a while: Did the prophets really forecast the future? What do we make of passages that seem to show God's will being thwarted (like 2 Kings 3)? Were the Egyptian plagues just natural events? And what exactly is Sheol?
