Summary

Friendship is beautiful—but it’s also messy. Feelings get hurt. Expectations go unmet. We misunderstand each other. But as we’ll reflect on the life of Mary Magdalene—a woman who experienced both profound mercy and fierce loyalty—we’ll consider how grace and forgiveness can be the bridge that keeps us connected even in conflict.

This is where real sisterhood grows: not in perfection, but in love that chooses to stay.

Is there a friendship in your life that feels strained, broken, or uncertain? Is there someone you need to extend grace to—or someone you need to ask forgiveness from?

Join us every Tuesday at 1 pm ET for The Weekly Visit on the BIS Member Community!
