Bonus: When Helping Others Starts Hurting You

However you are called to help other people, that is your personal ministry. But how can you serve others, lead well, and make a difference without losing yourself or burning out?

In this episode, you'll learn:

• When helping others crosses the line into enabling, you're trying to "play savior," or even becoming codependent.
• How to manage internal desires you have, like longing for affirmation, so that you can stay healthy, emotionally grounded, and purehearted.
• The difference between bettering your self-image and growing in self-awareness.
