🎧 FRIENDSHIP (Part 2): The Hidden Truth About What It Really Takes
Episode Title: “The Truth About Friendship – Part 2” – The Wrong Words Podcast
We thought Part 1 unpacked a lot… but Part 2 of our deep dive into "friendship"? This one cuts even deeper.
In this follow-up episode, Oliver Marcelle and Luvon Dungee revisit the word friendship—not just from a cultural or social standpoint, but from a deeply personal, introspective lens. This isn’t just about how we define friendship with others... it's about how we’ve defined it with ourselves.
From the Aramaic root meaning “study partnership” to Proverbs 17:17—“A friend loves at all times”—this episode pushes past the surface and into what true, sustainable friendship actually looks like.
