Larry Weidel argues that people shut down or numb out when facing problems instead of calling the right person. Call a doctor for medical emergencies, a lawyer for legal trouble, a minister for spiritual issues. Who do you call for your life problems?
When the pressure's on, some people shut down. Some go numb. Some pretend nothing's wrong. Others, the smart ones, they reach out. They don't stay under the thumb under the situation, they reach out, but not just to anyone. To the right person. See, you have a medical emergency, call a doctor. You don't call the neighbor and say, you know, I'm gushing blood. What should I do? Call it. Get to a medical professional. If it's a legal issue, you call the police or the attorneys. You know, you find someone who knows something about that situation. So what about your life problems? You know, you have a spiritual problems, you call the minister. Who are you calling?
