Are You Helping or Enabling?

from Rebuilding Us: Marriage Podcast · host Dana Che - Christian Marriage Coach & Speaker

I know you have good intentions, but want to know if you are helping or enabling? This episode will help you to discover if you are indeed an enabler: what it really means, the signs you might be an enabler, and the dangers of mistaking enabling for grace (especially within Christian circles and families). I share about my strength in setting boundaries, shaped by the experiences I witnessed growing up, and share practical advice for those who recognize enabling patterns in their marriage, parenting, and relationships. 🔎 What you’ll learn: What enabling REALLY is (and why it’s not the same as grace!) The difference between peacemaking and “peace-faking” ✌️ How enabling shows up in families, churches, relationships & even parenting Why true grace is about EMPOWERMENT, not making excuses 💪 4 main reasons we enable (and how to break free!) 👉 Mentioned resources: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
