In this episode of our Joy in Parenting summer series, we’re talking about joy in friendship with Kimberly Wootten. We explore why friendship is both deeply desired and often challenging in motherhood, and how true joy is found in knowing Jesus as our truest friend and extending his love to others. From taking initiative to loving sacrificially and showing up with presence, this conversation offers encouragement and practical next steps for every season of friendship.

Kimberly (Kimbo) Wootten is the Communications and Development Director at Journeywomen, a military wife, and a mom of two. She’s passionate about helping women know and love God’s Word and build meaningful, Christ-centered relationships. Learn more at www.journeywomen.org.
