In this episode of Hope, Healing & Freedom, the focus is on the impact of relationships on our lives. The host, Lee Whitman, explores the idea that the people we surround ourselves with can either uplift us or drag us down. Using biblical references and personal anecdotes, Lee emphasises the importance of choosing positive, supportive companions to foster a hopeful and fulfilling life.
He shares stories about influential figures like 'Papa Don' who inspire optimism and contrasts them with negative influences that can corrupt good morals. Through the lens of scripture, particularly 1 Corinthians 15:33, Lee illustrates how bad company can hinder one's destiny, much like the story of the Israelites' delayed entry into the Promised Land due to negative reports from spies.

Lee and his wife Cindy's experiences with counselling a troubled couple highlight how negativity can seep into our lives if we're not careful.
