Walker, III and Pastor Brian Bradshaw explore why Jesus never intended His followers to do life—or faith—alone. Drawing a surprising connection between Instagram's "Close Friends" feature and the relationships modeled throughout Scripture, they reveal how Jesus ministered to the crowds but intentionally invested in a circle. Discover why meaningful spiritual growth happens in authentic community, what it means to move from being part of the crowd to finding your circle, and how the relationships you build may be the key to becoming the person God has called you to be. 📍 Presented by Mount Zion Baptist Church, Nashville 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bible studies, worship, and teachings 👍 Like & share to encourage someone else on their faith journey 💬 Comment below: What does personal discipline look like in your life?
