Beyond Band-Aids

You ever notice how your phone's battery mysteriously dies faster when someone in your life is going through a crisis? There they are - calling, texting, DM'ing, maybe even sending smoke signals - and you're caught between wanting to help and feeling like you're enabling a pattern that never ends. The truth is, most of us are pretty terrible at helping people in a way that actually helps - we're masters of the quick fix, experts at the temporary solution, but not so great at the whole lasting change thing. Today, we're going to look at a story from Acts that completely flips our understanding of what it means to truly help someone, and I promise you, it's going to change how you handle every needy person in your life - including that one who's probably texting you right now.
