How to Speak Up When Someone You Love Is Self-Destructing

Brittany Ann

What do you do when someone you love is clearly struggling… but you're not sure if you should say something? Alternately, what if you’re the one quietly falling apart, but you’re afraid to admit it out loud?

In today’s episode, Pastor Mike Novotny and I are talking about how to have the hard conversations most of us avoid — whether you need to confess something yourself or lovingly confront someone else.

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • When staying quiet actually makes things worse
  • How to know if it’s time to speak up (or let it go)
  • What makes someone a safe person to open up to
  •  How to confront with truth and grace
  •  What to do when you’ve tried… and nothing changes

If you enjoy our conversation, be sure to check out Pastor Mike's new book, How to Talk Taboo (affiliate link) and visit his website at timeofgrace.org.
