In this heartfelt episode of The lowLIFE Show, Host DL the lowLIFE welcomes Jake Thurston, a pastor, author, church planter and advocate for spiritual friendship, to explore what it truly means to choose Jesus as a Friend. Jake brings decades of insight, rooted in his book You Need Friends: Reclaim Your God-Given Design for Community & Remedy Your Loneliness for Good and a fresh dissertation completed in August of 2024.

This episode dives into:

• Reclaiming friendship with Jesus and how calling Him a friend transforms how we relate to God
• The loneliness epidemic: a sobering look at why meaningful spiritual connection is more urgent than ever.
• How spiritual friendship is enriched by grace, presence, mutual transformation and discipleship by design
• The 3ft Principle: Ministry starts with those in your immediate circle

If you're tired of surface level faith and deeply desire a Gospel infused community rooted in friendship, this is the conversation you've been waiting to join. Let Jake's compassionate clarity and DL's gritty authenticity ignite your fire to live low for Jesus and draw friends into His love.
