Episode 233: Why Can’t We Stay Friends? | Bryan Loritts
Hole In My Heart Podcast
Friday, January 3, 2025 - 42 minutes
Happy new year! Let’s talk about friendships?
Author and pastor Bryan Loritts joins us today to discuss:
- Are friendships seasonal? (Should they be?)
- How can we make and keep lifelong friends?
- How should we think about boundaries with friends?
| Highlights |
- “The reason so many of our relationships are superficial is we are too scared of taking the time and the risk to walk in truth with each other.”
- “There is a place to draw boundaries. I am just cautious against that being our reflex reaction the first time someone does something to us.”
- “Many people confuse transparency with authenticity. We have to be authentic with everyone but transparent with few.”
- “We are so busy so we don’t make time and margin for the longing of our souls for friends.”

Encouraging Words From Your Bible
God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble. And so, we won't be afraid! Let the earth tremble and the mountains tumble into the deepest sea. Let the ocean roar and foam, and its raging waves shake the mountains.
PSALM 46:1-3 | CEV
