If we are human, then we all can say we have been blessed, burned, and landed somewhere in between there when it comes to friendships. We can also agree that we have been the one doing the blessing and burning. Let’s be honest with ourselves today.
Friendship is one of the best jewels in this life, but it can also be a thorn in our side. When the going gets tough, it is always easier to just give up no matter the situation. In the end though, giving up on our friendships will only hurt us and isolate us even more in the end.

What I love is that we are not alone in feeling this way! That is where we can come together in love and support and move forward in the work God has for us. Yes, we will make mistakes and will probably have to apologize to each other at some point. But, forgiveness is greater and will only bring us closer.
I’m sure every single one of you reading this right now can raise your hand that you know exactly what I’m talking about. That is why I am so pleased to share something brand new with you that is truly going to change the way you handle your friendships for the better from now on. Drum roll…
And that is the We Saved You a Seat Bible Study from Lisa-Jo Baker. If that name sounds familiar, it’s probably because I mentioned her earlier this year with her Never Unfriended book that launched. You can check out that post HERE too. She is so passionate about women truly connecting and thriving in friendships. She knows how important it is to do life with friends and not alone.
We Saved You a Seat: Finding and Keeping Lasting Friendships is a 7 week Bible study that walks you through showing the love of Christ to others while also encouraging you to pull up a chair to the table even when it’s hard to get along. Each week will give you a practical way to love others in your daily life.
Lisa-Jo discusses how change truly comes through letting the Scripture soak into our bones. This Bible study is designed to do exactly that. I can’t help but think of a sponge soaking up all this goodness to really change our friendships for the better.
Head over to Dayspring to get your Bible study now. If you are wanting to do this study with friends or in a small group at your church, be sure to check out their group leader package and also a version especially made for teen girls.
You will also find a Bible Study Kit with supplies made to supplement your study time. I love the scripture and inspiration cards that I will be able to use in my journaling Bible and also use to share with friends.
Here is what is included in the kit:
- Canvas pouch
- 20 Inspiration cards
- 2 Sticky note flags
- Sticker sheet
- 2 Mini highlighters
- Washi tape
I plan to use the supplies to mark pages in my book and also illustrate points or scripture within the book. Because I love Bible journaling, I will also be using the supplies for entries in my Bible throughout the entire study.
And if that wasn’t enough, then be sure to check out their Conversation Starter Jar with lots of cards with topic points and questions. These are great to supplement a Bible study group and use to engage each lady. Plus you will be amazed at how much you will learn about your friends that you thought you already knew. I love using mine for road trips with my husband as well.
If you are ready to start this journey and stop wasting time feeling alone and isolated, then please come join me. It’s not too late. Don’t listen to the lies of the enemy. I would love to have you doing the study and being able to discuss it together. Feel free to leave any comments, ideas, or questions from the Bible study in the comment section below.
