Ever wondered what it takes to handle life's curveballs with grace rather than frustration? In this engaging episode of 'Hope, Healing & Freedom,' host Lee Whitman dives into the crucial difference between acting and reacting in difficult situations. Through relatable anecdotes and biblical wisdom, Lee illustrates how proactive planning can transform your response to life's pressures.

Lee explains how acting—deciding in advance how to handle situations—can prevent emotional landmines from exploding. With examples ranging from dieting to setting boundaries in relationships, the episode provides practical advice for maintaining peace and control.
