Summary

Many of us struggle to build deep friendships as adults. We might feel too busy, too nervous to be the first to say hello, or too anxious about being rejected or hurt to invest in others. But there is hope in the gospel that we can cling to as we build biblical friendships. In this episode, Krystal sits down with pastor’s wife, podcaster, and author, Christine Hoover to discuss the beauty of friendship and how to overcome the barriers we face to build it. You will be blessed by the biblical wisdom she shares and the encouragement she leaves with us as we seek true friendships rooted in the gospel.

0:00.0	Welcome to Daily Grace. We believe the Bible is true, trustworthy, and timeless. And we want
0:17.6	to help women like you, know and love God's Word. The Bible shows us who God is and who
0:24.6	he is, changes everything. My name is Shelby and I'm Crystal. And we want to invite you to come
0:31.2	join us as we chat about the truth of God's Word in our everyday lives. Hey everyone and welcome
0:38.8	back to the Daily Grace podcast. This is Crystal and today I am joined by Christine Hoover. Christine
0:45.0	is a speaker, podcaster, and author of several books including a Bible study on the book of Matthew.
0:51.2	I am really looking forward to this conversation. Christine, so thanks so much for joining me today.
0:56.2	Thanks for having me, Crystal. I want to be here. Yeah, I'm really excited to have you on the
1:00.8	podcast for a few reasons. One, we've done several of your books at my church for our women's book
1:06.3	clubs. So that's been really sweet. I've seen firsthand how your books have just blessed our
1:11.2	women and encouraged them, especially in the topic of biblical friendship. So that's really fun
1:17.3	for me. But then also I was looking at your website and seeing how you describe your books
1:22.4	and your Bible study as a way for you to adjust how the gospel informs all aspects of our lives.
1:28.5	And that is our heartbeat here at Daily Grace. And so I'm excited for our listeners to get to know
1:33.6	you a little bit. So before we dive into our topic today, can you tell us just a little bit about
1:39.3	yourself? Sure. Well, I am back in Texas after a 14 year journey to Virginia. My husband is a pastor
1:49.1	and we moved from Texas, which is our home state to Virginia in 2008 to plant a church that he
1:55.5	pastored for 14 years. We just recently moved back to Texas, but to a part of Texas we've never
2:01.3	lived in, which is Austin. So he is serving as an executive pastor at one of the campuses at Austin
2:08.2	Stone Community Church. So we're brand new here, our kids, our teenagers, and so they are transitioning
2:15.8	to a new place. So that's been interesting and fun and good. It's going well, but we have three
2:21.5	boys. One is in college, one is a junior in high school, and one is a freshman in high school.
