  • Beyond "Thoughts and Prayers": Practical Ways to Care for Others
    Jan 30 2024

    😊 Welcome back to episode 2 of the Marketing of Missions Podcast! This episode offers practical ways to support and encourage people who are going through difficult times. We have different experiences, both personally and professionally, in dealing with hurt and wanted to share our insights on navigating conversations, offering presence, and showing the hope of Jesus. 🙌 Key Takeaways: - Focus on listening and validate others' feelings. Don't jump to offering solutions or fixing things. - Ask open-ended questions to encourage conversation. Let them guide the direction of the talk. - Be present and offer emotional support. Sometimes just sitting with someone is the most helpful thing you can do. - Celebrate their strengths and resilience. Remind them of their capabilities and past successes. - Respect their boundaries and avoid giving unsolicited advice. Offer help only if they ask for it. - Remember, everyone deals with grief differently. Be patient and understanding. - Focus on their future and the possibilities ahead. Help them find hope and purpose beyond the hurt. 📚 Additional Notes: - The episode acknowledges that offering unsolicited advice or sharing your own story can sometimes be unhelpful. Focus on listening and validation instead. - The importance of respecting boundaries and offering help only if it's requested is emphasized. - The hosts encourage listeners to be patient and understanding, as everyone grieves and heals in their own time. - The episode ends with a message of hope and the possibility of finding growth and meaning even in the midst of hurt. - We are not licensed counselors and advice in this episode is of our own perspective and beliefs. 👍 Follow us on our missionary journey: https://linktr.ee/butlers2ebi
