Episode 5: How to Walk with Hurting People When You’re Hurting Too
Have you ever had a friend in crisis while you quietly battled your own struggles? Me too. We’ll talk about that in this episode, and I’ll share ways you can be present while healing.
I’ll also share a comforting recipe for a simple Rotisserie Chicken Salad, perfect for taking to a friend, potluck luncheon, or just eating at home.
Reflection Prompts:
Think of a time someone sat with you in your pain. How did their presence comfort you more than words could?
What are your current limits — emotional, physical, spiritual? How can you honor those limits while still showing compassion?
Where have you seen God use your weakness as a testimony of His strength?
