About this listen

What if salvation isn’t just about a personal relationship with God—but about friendship with others? What if the New Testament invites us to see friendship as something deeper, even covenantal?

In this second episode of the Made for People Podcast, we sit down with New Testament scholar Wes Hill to explore why Jesus framed salvation in terms of friendship and how Scripture challenges our modern understanding of relationships.


We discuss:

✔️ How the New Testament blurs the lines between friends and family

✔️ Why covenant friendship is essential—not optional—for the Christian life

✔️ How marriage and friendship should complement, not compete with, each other

✔️ Why geography matters when it comes to building deep relationships

✔️ The practical ways to spend more time with friends in daily life

✔️ How forgiveness is the essential ingredient to real friendships that last


Join us for this conversation on why we’re all made for friendship—and why seeing it as part of salvation might change everything.
