Summary

This week, as part of the He Is series, Leslie unpacks a beautiful attribute of Jesus - He is our Friend. We don’t often think of Jesus as a close trusted Friend, and yet that is the kind of relationship He desires with us. It is truly awe-inspiring to realize that even though He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, He delights to enter into personal, intimate, daily fellowship with us. In this episode, Leslie offers key practical ways to begin cultivating a thriving friendship with Jesus Christ and truly step into the reality that He is our Friend.

0:14.5	We're in the midst of our He Is series, and the subtitle of this series is experiencing the
0:19.5	extraordinary reality of Jesus.
0:21.5	We've been unpacking different names and attributes of who Jesus is all throughout

0:45.3	been so powerful as I've studied this aspect of Christ actually wanting a friendship with us.
