August 12, 2025 Becky Sweat When we’re out with friends, it’s enjoyable to be able to talk about light conversation topics, catch up on what each other is doing, relate funny stories and share some laughs. That helps us unwind and relax. But try not to limit your conversations to those things. <img class="alignleft" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*A0xqqOV7LXlLEK1Acu8BFw.jpeg" alt="" width="438" height="268" /> It’s also good to open up about more heartfelt or enriching topics—such as recent experiences you’ve found to be inspirational, struggles any of you might be facing, lessons God is helping you learn, solicitations for others’ perspectives on particular Bible passages you want to better understand, etc. The Bible encourages believers to have edifying conversations to clarify and deepen their understanding of God’s Word (Proverbs 27:17; Malachi 3:16). It’s not that everything said has to be deep or profound, neither should we push people to reveal more with conversation topics than they’re comfortable with. But with a truly close, godly friendship, it never seems awkward to talk about biblical truths or what God is doing in one’s life. Personally, I consider it a huge blessing to have friends with whom I can talk about these things. Having meaningful, in-depth conversations adds closeness to relationships.
