How To Find Friends Who Push You Towards God

#Influencers #Friendships #CalebThomasIn this powerful message, Pastor Caleb Thomas explores how the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your relationships. He emphasizes the critical distinction between proximity and permission, noting that while we cannot always choose who is around us, we must be intentional about who we give permission to influence our hearts and decisions.Pastor Caleb breaks down three categories of people we often encounter:* The Hype Man/Girl: Those who celebrate you even when you're headed for a crash because they don't love you enough to tell you to stop.* The Manipulator: Those who remain in the relationship only as long as it benefits them.* The True Friend: Those who are proud of you but not "impressed" by you, meaning they love you enough to call you out when you are living outside of God's word.Drawing from Exodus 17, the message highlights how even a leader like Moses could not win his battles alone. He needed a Joshua on the front lines and an Aaron and Hur to support his arms when he grew weary. Using this biblical framework, Pastor Caleb challenges us to vet our inner circles and find faith-filled friends who do three things: push you towards God, strengthen you in God, and give God all the glory.------------------------------------------Free Life Chapel is here to help others discover and live the Free Life in Christ!Learn more about our church at https://www.freelifechapel.orgStay Connect on Socials!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freelifechapelFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/freelifechapel/Pastor Scott Thomas | Free Life Chapel | Lakeland, Florida
