Some friendships make life easier, but believing friendships make faith stronger. As we close our "Better Together" series, we step into the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three friends who refused to bow, refused to break, and refused to stand alone. Their story in Daniel 3 reminds us that godly friends share convictions that anchor us, courage that strengthens us, and a faith that holds firm even when the heat gets turned up.

These three young men teach us what happens when believers stand shoulder-to-shoulder: courage becomes contagious, obedience becomes possible, and even the flames cannot separate us from the presence of God. Because in the fire, there was a fourth, the One who stands with every believer who refuses to bow to the idols of this world.

Believing friends don’t just shape each other’s lives. They shape a watching world. Come discover how faith-filled friendships can change a community, point to Jesus, and remind us that we are truly better together.
