Your Question:
How do I face my family and tell them I've lost my business?
Answer:
Facing my family and telling them I've lost my business - I wish it hadn't come to this. As a pastor, I've always tried to live by Christian values and doctrine, but I've also learned that it's essential to be honest and transparent, even when it's difficult. I think it's time for me to take a cue from Proverbs 9 and have a "banquet in a grave" conversation with my family. Before I break the news, I want to take a moment to reflect on our family's mission statement. We've been working on it together, and it's been a valuable tool for us to evaluate our actions and make changes for the better. Our mission statement is to "diligently cultivate our hearts, minds, and moment-by-moment obedience." I want to make sure I'm living up to this commitment, even in the midst of a difficult situation like this. I'll ask God to guide me and give me the courage to speak the truth. When I talk to my wife Susan and our children Joshua and Rebecca, I want to be honest and open with them. I'll start by acknowledging my responsibility in the situation and expressing my regret. I'll also remind them that we're in this together, and we'll face it as a family. I'll encourage them to be honest with me as well, and we'll work together to find a way forward. It won't be easy, but I know that with God's guidance and our commitment to each other, we'll get through this.
