BUILDING STRONG HOMES podcast
HOST: CAROL ROPER
My guests for this first podcast episode are my two very best friends, Julie Bagwell and Frieda Younts. We’ve been friends for 26 years! Over time we’ve experienced lots of ups and downs but have remained close through it all. How did we do it? By being honest and real with each other, for one thing, but mostly by building our friendship on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
Growing up I only had one friend at a time and always felt like I never belonged. In my late 20s, I began praying for God to bring some good friends into my life and He was faithful to do just that through Julie and Frieda.
Each of us has been married for at least 30 years and has grown children, so we have lots of experience under our belt—some good and some bad. But we’ve held onto each other through it all and are grateful God has helped our friendship to remain strong.
In this episode, we talk about how hurt and jealousy, especially in a group with three friends, can be easy to fall into. But instead of letting them fester we bring them out in the open and talk about these things in the spirit of love. A friendship is work, but it’s so worth the reward.
Our desire is to help other women experience friendship like we have because good, godly friends can have an amazing impact on your life. But in order to make it work, we must be intentional. Listen in as we discuss simple and practical ways we learned to grow and sustain our friendship.
