Friendship is one of God’s greatest treasures. Joyful moments are sweeter with a friend. Hardships are born with greater courage—and even humor—when a friend is at your side. And when tragedy strikes, our friendships often go deeper. But while we were designed for relationships, they aren’t always easy.

Sometimes it’s difficult to know the best way forward—when and how to strengthen a strained friendship or when it’s better to let go. In Friend-Wise, Becky Harling takes us to the fount of wisdom—the Proverbs—to guide us in cultivating stronger relationships with our friends and families.

Becky teaches friendship skills, sharing wisdom on: Loyalty and guarding your heart. Contentment. Vulnerability. Forgiveness. Generosity. Advice. Encouragement. Criticism. Envy. Telling and speaking the truth. Apologizing. Trying to impress. Defensiveness. Strength. Dignity. And much more.

A 40-day journey exploring how the eternal wisdom of Jesus can comfort, challenge, and center us in a rapidly changing world.

In a time marked by anxiety and polarization, Everlasting Jesus offers a daily invitation to slow down and reconnect with what is lasting and true. Drawing from the Gospels and writing with his signature warmth, Rick Hamlin shows how the words and actions of Jesus still speak powerfully into the complexity of modern life. Whether it's Jesus crossing cultural lines to speak with a Samaritan woman―offering her, a social outcast, dignity and “living water”―or his call to invest in what matters rather than be ruled by fear and scarcity, each reflection ties Scripture to the concerns of now: social division, information overload, spiritual exhaustion, and the search for authentic connection.
