Summary

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series with this episode on Christ-centered, emotionally-healthy friendships. Why is it important to surround ourselves with emotionally healthy friends who are truly Christ-centered? Because those we allow to influence us can have a powerful impact on the direction of our lives. Our friends and influencers can either pull us away from Christ or help anchor our soul to Him. In this episode, Leslie offers important Biblical insights on how to determine a truly Christ-centered friend from someone who is dangerous and unhealthy to our spiritual lives and relationship with Christ.
