Hal and Carrie share about their 27 year friendship. In 1994, he was her new youth pastor. He was less than impressive from where she stood as an upcoming high school sophomore. She gave him a chance and discovered "the gift of the other" in Hal. They share life with each other to this day, and both are better for it. That's how friendships work. It happened because Hal welcomed Carrie and she trusted his sincerity for her and the group. For 27 years now, they have empowered, equipped, and encouraged each other from jokes to visits. Age and roles are just "surface stuff" as Hal says. Listen in and ponder "the gift of the other" in your life.
