We invite you to come join our weekly Podcast conversation with Rene Hardy and Theresa Fenton - “Friends By Design,” where we explore the meaning and purpose of friendship and wrestle with the very real questions of how to make and keep healthy friendships.

  • Jealous Much? God Has Something To Say About It.
    Nov 29 2021

    Rene & Theresa search God’s Word to answer some questions about jealousy, what the fruit of jealousy is and how to keep from becoming jealous in our friendships. Join the conversation as they discover three ways the Bible instructs us to stay free from jealousy: 1) Guard your heart and mind, 2) Pray for our secret-selfish sin to be uncovered, and 3) Love has got to be our hearts' motive in our relationship with one another. 


    See you after Christmas!!

  • Repentance & Forgiveness - What Does That Look Like in Friendship?
    Nov 22 2021

    Rene & Theresa are excited to hit Episode #10 with you, knowing that it’s been a growing and stretching experience for each of them in different ways, and they are honored for you to stretch and grow with them.  Today, they dig into the topics of “repentance” and “forgiveness” in friendship. Is repentance really about condemnation or is it really about love?  And what does that look like in friendship? True repentance is motivated by love, and forgiveness is a powerful tool that frees our heart.


    Rene opens up and shares her experiences of asking for forgiveness from past friends, and what it looked like to walk out forgiveness and sometimes restoration of a friendship.

  • Grown Up Conversations - What Keeps Us From Having Them?
    Nov 15 2021

    Fear, Past Experiences, Drama, Expectations, Heart Motives, Self-Preservation?


    The Bible gives us instruction to have conversations in love. AND Jesus demonstrated in His life and ministries with His most intimate friends how to engage with one another, even the hard conversations. As we run the race toward Jesus in our Kingdom Friendships, we can live together encouraging one another to be in alignment with God, pointing one another and our friendship back to Jesus with a right heart motive, always evaluating our motives, attitudes, and mindsets in it all.
