Thanks Mizpeh.
Trouble is, I was enabling the guy and didn't realize it. Instead of helping him I was crippling him. To be sure, there are cases where young men are ignored and under-utilized. But me listening to the whining didn't help him at all.
What he needed to do was go and talk to his pastor, and then submit or remove.
