We were not meant to struggle alone

Struggling Well keeps insisting that we were not meant to struggle alone. Jimmy and Suzi push back on the urge to fix each other, arguing for presence over solutions: reading someone, listening, and staying with them for the long haul. They admit that asking for prayer is really just admitting need, which turns out to be a good place to be, and that when it comes to judging one another, we are all standing there with stones.

In their words

“A lot of times I feel like I can help you if you'll give me more information about what is going on in your heart. And that's the part where we think, well, I can do what the Holy Spirit does — as opposed to just reading them, listening, seeing them, and then staying with somebody for the long haul.”

— Jimmy & Suzi, Ep 170

“When I hear somebody ask me to pray for them, what I hear is they are in need. And need is not a bad place to be, because when we're in need, then we have to depend on something else, someone else. It's a good need circle.”

— Suzi, Ep 187

“We take on the role of God in determining what is just and unjust and how God should act. We all know the story of the woman caught in adultery, but we're all standing there with stones. All of us.”

— Suzi, Ep 146
