Dan J Brennan

As I write this in the winter of 2018, I enjoy deep longstanding friendships with women and have been married to my best friend, Sheila for 36 years. One of my dearest female friends and I are celebrating our 16 years of intentional friendship in 2018. Another intimate friendship is going on strong after nine years. I enjoyed several road trips with a female friend. I'm amazed, humbled, and thankful for the rich connection I continue to know with women I've known deeply.

My friend and my pastor Juliet Liu wrote this in February of 2018:

"I am grateful for the Christian men in my life who have befriended, encouraged, and treated me as a full partner in God's Kingdom - men who have mentored me, met with me over lunch, ministered to me, and prayed with me rather than reducing me to a temptation to be avoided. If you are exploring the way God is reconciling women and men together through cross-gender friendship, I encourage you to check out my friend's blog: http://www.danjbrennan.com/. Dan is a wonderful encourager and friend in my life, and I'm so grateful for the call God has placed in his life to invite people to explore the beauty and freedom of cross-gender friendship."
