Spiritual Band-aids

When life falls apart, sometimes the last thing we need is a quick verse or a well-meaning cliché. Too often, Christians reach for what we call a “spiritual band-aid”—throwing out Bible verses to cover someone’s pain instead of sitting with them in it. In this episode, we’ll talk about why we do this, how it can actually harm instead of heal, and what Scripture really shows us about comforting others. From Job’s friends to Jesus weeping at Lazarus’ tomb, we’ll see that presence often speaks louder than words. Join me as we explore practical ways to move past spiritual band-aids and become people who bring true comfort, empathy, and the hope of Christ.
