How to be a Friend of Jesus
The Bible calls Jesus the friend of sinners, but it's hard to imagine what friendship with Jesus really looks like. We so often don't even know how to do friendship with the people around us, so how are we supposed to feel that close to a holy, perfect, and invisible God? Ed Stetzer talks with Jared C. Wilson about his book, Friendship with the Friend of Sinners: The Remarkable Possibility of Closeness with Christ and how we can see Jesus as the real person and experience true friendship with him on Ed Stetzer Live.
