If I've got a person who is being enabled and because of their addictions or whatever, it is making it easier for them to continue down that path, then I'm actually not doing them any favors.
Imagine trying to help a loved one but unintentionally making things worse. In this episode of the 'Mess It Up Podcast', Listener Bev from California joins the Bowtie Guy and Bowtie Brian to unpack the tricky topic of enabling. The conversation reveals how our well-meaning actions can sometimes pave the way for continued destructive behavior. They dive into the fine line between supporting someone and enabling their harmful habits, making it clear that good intentions aren’t always enough.
The hosts also touch on a recent Hope Event held by Prison Fellowship Ministries at a local prison, adding another layer to the discussion about redemption and support systems. Bev brings her personal stories into the mix, highlighting the importance of honest communication and vulnerability in relationships. She also emphasizes the power of prayer, urging listeners to commit to praying for someone who holds a grudge against them for a week.
If you're looking for insights on how to genuinely support loved ones without falling into the trap of enabling, this episode is a must-listen.
