In this Episode our host Rick McClatchey takes some time to talk about Galatians 6:2 and the Biblical command to bear one another's burdens.
He talks about the necessity of bearing one another out of a place of fallenness in sin as well as in just the every day walking of life.
As one who is receiving help - be open - be humble - be gracious.
As one who is helping - be present, be perceiving, and be proactive.
