I’ve been reading a book on friendship by Justin Erickson. He provides seven biblical examples of good friends for men but I think the message is useful for all believers.

It really resonates for its focus on intention, godliness, and mutual impact. These aren’t the people you choose for selfish reasons. They’re the kind that make you a better person and deepen your walk with God.

7 Godly Friendships
  • A godly mentor to disciple you: Paul
  • A solid peer to encourage you: Barnabas
  • A best friend to uphold you: Jonathan
  • A courageous brother to confront you: Nathan
  • A faithful disciple to follow you: Timothy
  • A lost seeker to hear you: Zacchaeus
  • A gracious Savior to befriend you: Jesus
This is a great starting point if you want to build intentional connections. You can gauge where you are and what’s lacking in your circle.

I highly recommend Seven Friendships Every Man Needs for men and women.
