You may be dealing with broken promises, another relapse, anger, fear, confusion, or a crisis you do not know how to handle. You do not need to solve everything today. You need to know what to do next, what not to do, and how to respond clearly.
You may be asking:
Do I confront them?
Do I give them money?
Should I let them stay with me?
Am I helping or enabling?
What should I say?
What do I do if they refuse help?
How do I protect my family while still showing compassion?
What should our church or ministry do next?
There is rarely one perfect answer. But there are better and worse ways to respond. Gates of Freedom helps you slow the situation down, identify the immediate problem, and choose the next practical step.
