In this episode, Andrew Ray talks with David Powlison and Mike Emlet about advice that goes wrong. Their discussion is in response to a listener’s question: “We are expecting a child who was just diagnosed with a severe disability in the womb. It is a very serious condition, and we have brought it to our church family for prayer. While most of our friends and family have been helpful in praying and expressing sympathy, we are having a hard time dealing with those people who, though they think they are being sensitive with the words they say, are in reality being very insensitive to our cares and concerns right now. How does a person respond to others who think they are being helpful, but really aren’t?”
