Yellow Flags in Intentional Friendships

Yellow flags are not necessarily deal-breakers, meaning you don't need to stop your intentional friendship. However, they are cautionary and should be prayed through and considered. Ask for more information when clarity is needed. It is important to discuss yellow flags during the intentional friendship phase; before you commit to a more serious relationship. Under the right circumstances, yellow flags can be turned green.    

Yellow flags to look for in a relationship:    

• Political differences   
• Inconsistent stories   
• Lack of spiritual growth based on the number of years they have been a Christian
