Jess sits down with her close friend Shonna for a conversation that sounds like years of voice notes, inside jokes, and late-night check-ins—just said out loud. What starts as reflections on church, small groups, and shared roots turns into a real-time unpacking of friendship, community, and how people actually grow together.
They discuss what it means to build community and friendship over time, emphasizing the importance of showing up quietly, asking tough questions, staying present through challenging relationships, insecurity, and change. This episode isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about the friends who know your history, your patterns, and your heart—and still keep you in the group chat. Pull up a chair. This one feels familiar.
