As parents, we all want our teens to have friends who help them grow spiritually. But how do we guide them in choosing godly friends? Proverbs 13:20 tells us, "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." This verse reminds us that friends influence our lives—for better or worse. Let’s encourage our teens to seek out friendships with those who share their faith, who encourage them to walk closer with Jesus, and who strive to live in obedience to God. They’re kids. They won’t be perfect, but having the same goals spiritually can help with accountability. And, remember, let’s pray with our kids, asking God to lead them to friends who will challenge them to grow in their love for Christ.
I'm not sure they're a "good" friend.
