What Do I Do If Someone Shares a Big Sin?
In this video, Pastor of Soul Care, Jeff Ballard shares how we can walk with someone who shares a deep sin with us or our group, including asking the following questions:
- What’s it like for them?
- What are they experiencing?
- What help can I offer them?
- How would I want to be cared for?
And he offers practical recommendations, such as:
- Check your facial expression. And check your heart: are you surprised at sin?
- Thank them for sharing. Acknowledge that it’s hard to share.
- Affirm your care
- Pray for them right there
- Ask them, “What can I do to help?”
