About this episode
Pastor Jonathan Laurie shares what a true friendship looks like to the godly person. Notes: “David did not know the rest of his story, he just knew that God was writing it, and it would ultimately be good. God has a future for you, too. Until that day, remember, ‘Our times are in His hands.’” —Pastor Greg Remember that we can always trust an unknown future to a known God. “True Friendship” 1 Samuel / Psalms 1 Samuel 18:1–4 1.
