Theological Thursday: Loving Wisely

In this Theological Thursday chat, Andrew and Becci join theologian Geoff McPherson from Grace Theological College to explore what the Bible teaches about helping and loving one another. Drawing on 1 Thessalonians and Proverbs, Jeff warns against two traps Christians can fall into: meddling in others' affairs by trying to "fix" everything, and unintentionally creating unhealthy dependency by doing too much for people rather than empowering them.

The conversation highlights the importance of listening before speaking, respecting others' dignity and work, and being wary of manipulation that can develop when help becomes transactional. Jeff closes with a prayer asking for wisdom to love fervently while avoiding both being a "busybody" and fostering ungodly dependency in others.
