Do not rush into trying to minister to hurting people. Trying too hard to help people can be harmful. By trying to force people to change we can cause a push back.
Push Back Can Cause a Person to:
1. Quit trying
2. Think like a victim
3. Feel angry
4. Feel shame
5. Put us on a pedestal
6. Trust in us to heal, rescue, or save them
7. Feel guilty
It is harmful. First, do no harm.
Every book and class we do focuses on helping people grow and prosper. We want to see people get stronger and more independent. We do not want them to be dependent on us.
So, we try to plan everything we do to support positive growth.
