Loving Difficult People Without Losing Yourself
Loving people is easy in theory — and genuinely hard in practice, especially with the ones who drain you. In this episode, Pastor Chris tackles one of the most common tensions in everyday faith: where's the line between loving someone and losing yourself in the process? Using Galatians 6 and the image of a lifeguard trained never to let a panicking swimmer pull them under, he offers a clear and honest framework for loving people well without going under yourself.
