Faith, Works, and the Cost of Protection

Описание: Faith, Works, and the Cost of Protection
Most of us act out of love when we try to protect someone we care about. We remove consequences, soften landings, and shield them from temptation, pain, or reality — believing that our faith, hope, or good intentions will somehow be enough.
But in recovery, protection can come at a cost.
Today on The Daily Trudge, we talk about the hard balance between faith and action, and why faith without works is dead — especially when it comes to addiction. Belief alone doesn’t change behavior. Love without action doesn’t create recovery. And sometimes, protecting someone from consequences doesn’t save them — it delays the moment they realize they need help.
This conversation isn’t about cruelty or abandonment. It’s about understanding the difference between support and enabling, between hope and action, and between protecting someone and allowing them the dignity of choice. Real help often looks uncomfortable. It requires boundaries, honesty, and the courage to stop interfering with another person’s process.
If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, felt guilty for not “doing more,” or wondered whether your help was actually helping — you’re not alone. This is about learning when faith must turn into works, and when stepping back may be the most loving thing you can do.
