What does it really mean to be called a 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱? In this week’s powerful episode of the Riot Podcast, we unpack John 15:12–17 and discover the incredible truth that friendship with Jesus is both a privilege and a calling. 🌿

Join us as we explore how abiding in Christ produces true fruit in our lives — fruit that leads to genuine love for one another, obedience, supernatural friendship, and answered prayer. Jesus reminds us that we're not just His servants, but His friends — chosen, appointed, and invited into the inner circle of the King of Kings.

📖 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
1. The difference between worldly friendships and friendship with Jesus
2. Why love is more than a feeling — it's a command and an action
3. How true Christian fruit bears eternal impact
4. The role of obedience and intimacy in being a friend of God
5. The privilege of answered prayer through relationship with Christ
6. Why bearing fruit makes us targets of the world’s hate — and how to prepare for it

💡 Whether you've walked with Jesus for years or you're new to the faith, this episode will encourage and challenge you to live as a true friend of God — one who bears fruit, loves deeply, and stands firm in Christ.
