One Loud Voice is a discipleship community that empowers believers to share the love of Jesus with the world. The One Loud Voice podcast is the heartbeat of our discipleship program. It's designed to inspire and equip people to live like Jesus, to be His disciples. In addition to our Bible study content, we create opportunities for people to be the hands and feet of Jesus, partnering with local churches and mission organizations to help them reach the world. We believe it is time to take the challenge of Jesus and “Go into all the world and make disciples.” Together, we can be - One Loud Voice.

Be a Good Friend - show notes
Friendship is such a huge part of what makes us feel valuable and fulfilled in life.
Friends can be our biggest support and strength, or they can be our greatest downfall

Proverbs 18:24 - KJV, NAS, Amp, ISV, Ops Tank, NRSV, NLT, Message
(Vast differences in how this verse is translated)
Let’s talk about what a good friend looks like…
#2 - Would you define yourself as someone who is a good friend?
#3 - If you think about the conversations and activities you do with your friends, are you setting an example of Jesus for them? Are they setting an example of Jesus for you
John 15:14-15 Amp
- Jesus defines His friends as the people who follow what He says
- He defines His friendship with us by saying that He shares what He knows with us
#4 - Based on this scripture, would you define yourself as a friend of Jesus?
Proverbs 17:17 NLT
Proverbs 27:9 Amp

#5 - These scriptures define a good friend as: loyal, someone who gives wise counsel, and someone who helps their friend in a time of need. Are there some places for you to grow in these as a good friend?
