The People You Can't Unfriend | 5-Minute Christian Devotional

Discover why the most irritating people in your church might be God's greatest gift to your spiritual growth in this provocative episode of Battle Drill Daily Devotional. Just like that relative who drives you up the wall at family gatherings, your church family includes people you'd never choose – and that's exactly the point.

Through the wisdom of Proverbs 27:17, explore how "iron sharpening iron" isn't a comfortable process but a transformative one. This devotional reveals why friction, heat, and sparks in relationships might signal growth rather than dysfunction. Learn how the early church united tax collectors with zealots, rich with poor, creating a supernatural unity that changed the world.

Whether you're tempted to church-hop until you find "your people" or considering giving up on Christian community altogether, this episode challenges you to see difficult relationships as divine appointments. Understand why real fellowship costs your comfort, time, and preferences – and why that investment yields priceless spiritual returns.

Scripture Reference: Proverbs 27:17
