Question summary
In today’s message, I am answering a question from one of our listeners. The question is, “How do I say no to well-meaning people?” The scenario behind this question is that well-meaning people are giving them advice on what they should do to make money so they can provide for their family.
However, this advice goes against the calling God has given them. Listen to today’s message to discover the danger of following the wrong advice from well-meaning people, and learn how to gently (but firmly) tell them no.
