Be the Friend You Want to Have | Dave Kull & Joël Vögeli

2026/04/19 | Dave Kull

Dave Kull teaches that true friendship starts when you become the friend you want to have. He warns against loneliness and points to Jesus as the ultimate friend (John 15:13–15) and urges wise companionship (Proverbs 13:20). Practical takeaways: create proximity by committing to a small group or volunteer team, build connection around shared interests and values, and give relationships time and chemistry to develop. Use layered friendships—neighbors, purpose-based companions, heart friends, lifelong friends—and invest in marriage by praying together, keeping the fire burning, and pursuing a shared vision. Reflection/action: this week, identify one relationship to invest in—join a group, pray for a friend, or reach out and be the friend you want to have.
