Manage episode 496069951 series 3365110
World Friendship Day (International Day of Friendship), celebrated on July 30th, is a reminder of the power of genuine connection in addressing today’s loneliness epidemic. In this episode, we’ll explore the Four A’s model for building authentic friendships: Accessibility, Assurance, Affection, and Accountability.
True friendship means more than casual connection—it’s about carrying one another’s burdens, loving deeply, and sharpening each other to grow. As you listen, I invite you to take on this challenge: choose one step from the Four A’s model and intentionally practice it with a specific friend.
Even small, deliberate acts can spark profound change—both in your relationships and in the lives of those around you.
