God calls us as Christ followers to help others. Jesus is our perfect example of this. However, not all "helping" is helpful. In fact, sometimes our helping can actually be harmful. In this episode I explain what this unhelpful helping, also known as "enabling," looks like.  I also discuss the deep reasons why we enable. And, I share some strategies you can implement to begin to stop enabling.

God can meet your need for:
safety/security (Psalm 16:8)
peace (John 16:33 )
connection/companionship (Matthew 28:20 )
provision (Philippians 4:19 )
control/order (Isaiah 41:10 )
self-esteem/respect/identity (Psalm 139:14 ; 2 Cor. 5:17 )
purpose (Romans 8:28 )
love!!! (1 John 3:1, 4:16 )
