Episode Description

What does your circle actually look like? Who is your community?

Candace and Madi talk about the loneliness of post-college life, navigating new seasons

as a wife and mom, and share the real challenges of finding and keeping the right

people around you.

Candace and Madi open up about moments when the people they chose to spend time

with led them in the wrong direction, and the friends who pointed them back toward

Jesus. Madi shares a vulnerable story about a night that went sideways and what it

taught her about the power of peer influence. Candace reflects on the crazy

underground Hollywood party she and Val stumbled into, and the lifelong friend who sat

her down and asked the question that changed her trajectory: 'How is your walk with

God?

They explore what it looks like to build community in every season, whether you are

newly single after college, settling into marriage, raising littles, or starting fresh in a

brand new city. Candace reminds listeners that online community counts, that

technology makes it possible to have deep friendships across the miles, and that you

are never too old to make new friends. (Her dad at 82 proves it in the most adorable

story you will hear today.

They close the episode by tackling a listener question about what to do when a close

friend isn’t willing to forgive and make up. Their answer is full of grace, honesty, and

hope for anyone carrying the weight of a broken relationship.
