About this episode

Jess discusses the importance of honesty and confession in friendships, particularly from a Christian perspective.

Jess kicks off the episode with a few travel stories about getting lost and wandering Irish backroads. Then she has an honest chat about what it looks like, as believers in Christ, to be truly open with our friends about our struggles. Confession isn't something we're constantly thinking about in friendship, but when it comes to being vulnerable with our struggles to those closest to us, the practice of confession can lead to greater strength and trust in the long run. It doesn't mean you're vulnerable with everyone! But for those who you do trust and share things with, the practice of confession can make even the strongest friendships that much more resilient AND serve as a testimony of how to walk out Galatians 6:1 & 2 as we bear one another's burdens.
