In a world facing a pandemic of absent friendships, genuine connection isn't just nice—it's critical to your mental health and life success. Recent studies show the average American has fewer friends than ever before, with one in four having no close friends at all. The quality of the friends you have shows the quality of the friend you are. Tune in to our CCV Online church experience streaming from Phoenix, Arizona, and hear from CCV's Teaching Pastor, Mark Moore, as he unpacks the biblical foundation for proactive friendship. Discover how Jesus modeled the way by initiating relationships with his disciples, requiring major sacrifice but promising priceless community.
