In this episode, Whitney is joined by two of her best friends, Courtney and Detric, to sit down and talk about their journey to becoming friends and creating community.

“You have to start by being your authentic self. Otherwise, you’re going to attract people who are attracted to a person that doesn’t exist”

Detric and Courtney share why community has become such an important thing for them. Detric realized that he didn’t have anyone to share his authentic self with and Courtney realized that she wasn’t actually happy and that her friendships didn’t allow her to share her faith.

They also talk about how their growing ministry, which Detric leads, Becoming was a true test at first but ended up bringing even more people into their inner circle. Something they never expected.

Whitney and Detric journey through their lifetime dislike for each other that she equates to an “east coast/west coast beef” and how getting past that to become friends is proof that God put this together.

Courtney and Detric also share that the way to finding a friend is determining if you really want friends—especially Godly friends. Detric reminds us that friends don’t always tell us what we want to hear or make our life easier. And the three talk about how their friendship was really made in the times where they had to have those hard conversations with each other — something they called “medicine”.

The three best friends encourage listeners to pray for community and encourage them by admitting that they can’t imagine reaching this point in their purposes and lives without consistent love and community.
