Show Notes – God Jots: Episode 210 "Why Trying to Fix Others Fails And What God Does Instead"

Host Ender Bowen dives deep into the longing many of us feel to "fix" the broken people in our lives—from friends and loved ones to strangers who cross our path. Where does this desire come from? Through heart, humor, and a dash of vulnerability, Ender explores how this urge might reflect something far greater than our own intentions—a divine echo of how God loves, heals, and transforms us, even when we seem unfixable.

This episode gently challenges the idea that we’re responsible for changing others, instead inviting us to create space for grace, healthy boundaries, and compassion as God does the real work in their hearts. Ender tackles the dangers of staying in toxic situations, unpacks the difference between helping and saving, and offers wisdom on how we can become instruments of love and patience while letting go of the savior complex.
