Summary

Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were siblings, each with their own personality, their own way of loving Jesus, and likely their own tensions. And yet, Jesus called them His friends. In this final session of the series, we’ll reflect on what it means to embrace the differences among us and to stay in relationship even when things get complicated.

Sisterhood isn’t about agreeing on everything, it’s about choosing to see Christ in the other, again and again.

Have you ever felt tension in your friendships or struggled to connect with someone who’s just different? How can we honor the dignity of someone we find difficult to understand?

Join the convo at the Weekly Visit every Tuesday at 1pm ET in the BIS Member Community!
