Lie #6: This Friendship is Different: It Won't Change Me

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-jrgw5-... "I have good values, I know what I believe — they can't change me." That's the lie a lot of us believe about friendship, and today we're breaking down why it's not true. 🔗 Get weekly encouragement: uncommonteen.com/email💛 Join the Collective: uncommonteen.com/collective🎟️ Known 2026 tickets: uncommonteen.com/conference🙋‍♀️ 1:1 Coaching: uncommonteen.com/coaching📸 Instagram: instagram.com/uncommon.teen💝 Support the ministry: givebutter.com/uncommonteen In this episode, we're breaking down Lie #6 in our Lies of the Enemy series — the lie that says who you're friends with doesn't matter as long as your own values are strong. We'll walk through Lucy's story (a girl who found herself slowly drifting from God without even realizing it), look at how Jesus actually structured His friendships — His inner circle vs. His friendship with sinners like Zacchaeus — and answer a real question from one of our listeners about whether it's even okay to be close with people who believe differently than you. Spoiler: it's not about whether you're strong enough to resist their influence. It's about who's actually in your inner circle, and whether they're pulling you toward Jesus or away from Him. ✨ In this episode: Why good values don't make you immune to influence The difference between Jesus' inner circle and His friendship with sinners How to know if a friendship is pulling you closer to God or further away 6 practical ways to create healthy distance without ghosting or being mean A guided prayer to close it out ⏰ Last chance: Unshakable Collective orders close Saturday, September 20th.
