How to Build Friendships That Go the Distance

Season 17 | Episode 2

Lisa Duvall & Julie Mullins - September 21, 2026

Friendships that last aren’t built on life staying the same—they grow when we give one another the grace and space to change. In this week’s episode, Pastor Julie sits down with her longtime friend Lisa to reflect on more than 30 years of friendship through motherhood, ministry, celebration, loss, and everything in between.

Episode Notes

Together, Lisa and Julie share the guiding principles that have helped their relationship go the distance, from staying “close but not closed” to creating a safe place for vulnerability. Whether you’re longing for deeper friendships, navigating a changing season, or wondering how to maintain the relationships you already have, this conversation offers practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement.
