Friendship isn’t optional if we want to make disciples—it’s essential. But for many of us, building deeper friendships feels harder than ever. We’re busy, distracted, or unsure how to take relationships beyond surface-level.

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we sat down with author Twyla Franz to talk about what it really takes to grow friendships that last. You’ll hear practical ways to open your life, welcome interruptions, and start investing in trust-filled relationships that make discipleship a natural part of everyday life.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:


  • Why friendship and trust are the true pathways for disciple-making.

  • Why openness and vulnerability don’t have to be scary.

  • Why “divine interruptions” may be God’s invitation to deeper connection.

  • 10 simple ways to build friendships that actually transform lives.

From this episode:

"The #1 thing we all have in common, and it makes for great common ground, is our need for Jesus and the transformation his life brings to ours. Let your redemption show! Don’t hide your screw-ups. When people see and hear that you are not perfect, it allows them to live openly around you and be honest too. Honesty like this builds trust in a relationship."
