Prevention vs. Cure: Balancing Both With The L.A. Wildfires And Our Personal Relationships

This week on Trending, Matt and Pastor Joe tackle an age-old debate of prevention vs. cure. Using the ongoing California wildfires as a backdrop, they discuss how proactive planning can save costs and heartache, but over-preparation can also lead to anxiety and unnecessary expense.

On a personal level, they explore how intentionality in relationships—like guarding our words or investing in loyalty—can prevent damage that’s hard to repair. Drawing from scripture and personal experiences, they encourage us to do the hard work of prevention where we can, without succumbing to perfectionism or fear.
