Have you ever mistaken enabling for kindness? Join Doug Apple and Mike Sharman as they confront the difficult but critical topic of enabling, exploring why it's a deceptive form of "help" that ultimately harms the people we care about. Using the tragic example of a recent church shooting, Mike explains how accommodating mental or spiritual illness, whether in an individual or an entire culture, only makes people smaller and prevents them from living up to their God-given potential. In this powerful conversation, you will learn: -- Why enabling a person's weakness is the most unkind thing you can do. -- How true compassion involves helping people confront their problems rather than sweeping them under the rug. -- The spiritual component of destructive behaviors and the role of demonic influence. -- Why Christian culture provides protective boundaries that benefit everyone, even atheists. -- The importance of self-sufficiency and interdependency in Christian community, as exemplified by a medical ministry like Share Healthcare.
