Thin spaces exist not just outside us but also within us. Our souls are the places that hold our light. A soul friendship is the place in which the light inside you meets the light inside the other person.
Watch this brief video introducing the concept of soul friends, which we discuss fully in chapter 7 of Braving the Thin Places.
Then consider these questions:
- Do you have a soul friend? If so, what qualities drew you to each other?
- If you do not, do you believe that it’s possible that you have yet to meet this person? How might you recognize your soul friend?
- What are the most important aspects of soul friendship?

Nice video. Thanks for the message Julianne. Soul friend can add life to our life span.
Thank you for reminding me to thank God for the different soul friends who have entered my life at different times. Some have been there only fleetingly, such as the woman I met in a coffee shop, but with whom there was an instant connection, others more permanent, who after reading this I value even more.
