I appreciate y'all's patience with this second podcast.

I have actually been doing a lot of speaking at conferences and preparing my material for that.

So quick shameless plug if you're part of a church organization conference committee or are just

looking for speakers in general, you can ask for me specifically and contact my booking agency

at booking at the my agency.com.

So that's just serious inquires only thought I would put that in just because I've been receiving a lot of emails a lot of different messages on social media so I thought why not just plug that into my podcast as well so anyways I am so excited to jump into this because not only

was this a hot subject that was sent to me at the Bot and Beloved email which is Bot and Beloved at gmail

dot com all spelled out but this was a topic that I actually preached on this past weekend So I'm super excited to be

podcasting about this and to be recording this audio for you guys to enjoy and

to access. So one specific email that I received was from a fellow Texan Yee.

Her name is Zoe and Zoe emailed me this so I'll read her message.

She said hi Kirby I found your YouTube channel a month ago or so and I fell in love. I was so excited when I found out that you started a podcast. It's amazing. Thanks, Zoe. I was hoping you could talk about godly friendship in your next

podcasts. I've really been searching and praying for a best friend who will build me up and

who I can build up in God's word as well and leave refreshed and lift it up after we've spent time together.

I was wondering if you had any advice, experiences, or observations on this topic.

Thank you so so much you are awesome love Zoe well first of all you are so awesome.

You are so awesome Zoe.

Thank you for the encouragement and for taking the time to send in your question.
