Problems are real.
Promises are important.
And the faith that clings to them often fragile.
That’s why it’s a good idea, if you’re offering yourself (or your church or organization) as the solution to somebody’s possibly-desperate problem, to make absolutely certain that somebody is there to answer the phone.
Or that the phone is actually there in the first place.
They may not be thinking about jumping off.
Maybe they just need a tank of gas…
A safe, friendly voice…
Or answers without religious jargon or clichés.
Maybe they just need to know where to find a phone that works.
