Am I Enabling? Hope through the Gospel – The Transformation Series
About:
The family dynamics of addiction are confusing due to the relational strife, hard choices, division, enabling behaviors, and failed attempts at tough love. Walking wisely by faith during this heart-wrenching time starts with discerning what is going on in your own heart before offering admonishment, encouragement, or help to the person you love. God’s Word has immense practical hope and wisdom for the loved ones of those in addiction, and His Holy Spirit will comfort you.
