In this episode, Andrew Ray talks with David Powlison and Julie about keeping another’s confidences. The discussion is in response to a listener’s question: “I am not a counselor, but I would like to become confident in personal ministry. I’ve noticed that I’m not very good at holding confidences when I am burdened by what others are sharing with me. I often end up talking about the issue with other close friends and/or my family as sort of a stress reducer. I am convicted about this, and I believe Jesus wants me to bring change to this area. How can I change?”
