[#11 Q3] I have met some students while serving full-time that have little or no self esteem and might even suffer from depression. This could be based on their upbringing or something else, but their humanity just seems broken. I also see that the ministry that we have seems to emphasize this desire to humble you and break down what has hopefully already been built up humanly. How do I help someone that is already broken and seems in need to be built up before the Lord can begin His work?
In Question and Response (Q&R) sessions, a group of invited panelists respond to questions submitted by students and young adults during the week. The panelists are generally older and more experienced brothers in the Lord who have the burden to respond to our questions by sharing both the truth from the Bible and their experiences in life.
It is important to point out that these brothers do not presume to have the answers to our questions. Rather, they are willing to provide a response in fellowship, and to encourage us to personally go to the Lord and consider all these things before Him.
