Your Question:
What if I have to choose between treatment and my family's well-being?
Answer:
Choosing between treatment and my family's well-being is a difficult decision that weighs heavily on my heart. As a pastor, I've seen many families struggle with the consequences of prioritizing physical treatments over the emotional and spiritual well-being of their loved ones. It's easy to get caught up in the idea that a pill or a treatment is the solution to our problems, but the truth is that true healing often requires a holistic approach that addresses the heart and soul. When Susan and I were first married, we faced our own struggles with depression and anxiety. We could have easily turned to medication or therapy as a quick fix, but instead, we chose to work through our issues together, with the support of our friends and family. It wasn't always easy, and there were times when we felt like giving up, but we persevered and found that our relationship was stronger because of it. I believe that this approach can be incredibly rewarding, not just for our relationship, but for our children as well. As a father to Joshua and Rebecca, I want to instill in them the value of prioritizing their relationships and their faith over any physical treatment. I want them to know that true healing comes from God, and that He is always present in the midst of our struggles. If I had to choose between treatment and my family's well-being, I would choose to put my hope in God and to work through our issues together as a family. I believe that this approach will lead to a deeper, more meaningful relationship with my family, and with God.
