Friendship With God and Others: A Beautiful Exchange

Every friendship is a give-and-take relationship, a beautiful exchange of love and loyalty. But do you take that idea into your friendship with God? And better yet, do you invite God into your friendships with others? . . . . Rush Podcast is a production of Gather Ministries (https://www.gatherministries.com/), a non-profit organization led by Jennifer & Justin Camp. Through our five ministries, we equip men and women to encounter God in the every-day lives they’re living. From Loop for Women, an email devotional focused on beauty & prayer, to WiRE for Men, an email devotional that helps men see life with God as the greatest adventure of all time, we hope we have something that matters to you. . . . . .
