A Letter to the Woman Seeking Christ in Her Friendships // Lindsay Schlegel

This summer, I’m focusing in on the topic of friendship with other women, and in this second episode of the series, I’m sitting down with Lindsay Schlegel.

Lindsay is a daughter of God who seeks to encourage, inspire, and lift others up to be all they were created to be. She is also the author of Don’t Forget to Say Thank You: And Other Parenting Lessons That Brought Me Closer to God and the host of the podcast Quote Me With Lindsay Schlegel. She writes for Verily, CatholicMom.com, Radiant, and edits for various publications. Lindsay lives with her family in New Jersey, where she enjoys knitting, running, and reading to her kids.

You’ll recognize Lindsay’s voice from a past episode of this podcast, “A Letter to the Women Who Keeps Telling Her Kids to Say Thank You”—from all the way back in 2018!

When you open the new Sisterhood book, you’ll find Lindsay’s reflection on friendships that remind you of Christ, which kicks off the second chapter in Sisterhood which talks Christ as the original giver of friendship

If you have a desire not only to recognize Christ in your friendships but also to bring him into your friendships with the women in your life, this letter is for you.

Topics we talked about in this episode:

• How Lindsay encountered Christ through a friend who accompanied her through a season of loss
• The beauty of friendship with women going through different seasons of life than you’re living
• What friendship with Christ looks like and why it’s the foundation of all good friendships
• How to help our kids make Christ-centered friends, even when they’re young
• Lindsay’s advice for sharing the joy of Christ with friends who aren’t Christian
• What to do when you’re newly married and navigating “your friends” and “our friends” as a couple
