Building Healthy Friendships Among Men

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
About this episode

Founders of the popular comedic group The Skit Guys, Eddie and Tommy’s 30-year friendship didn’t start out as one might expect. Eddie and Tommy met in high school when Tommy stole Eddie’s girlfriend, and the Lord worked from there to spark in both of the men a love for friendship and Jesus! They describe the importance of friendships among men, transparency and vulnerability in relationships, working through conflict, and when marriages come into the mix. They are a fun group that you won’t want to miss!
