206. "Keeping the Peace" Doesn't Work | Boundaries Explained


Listen Later

If setting boundaries (or sticking to them) is hard for you, it's probably because of THIS one thing:

You're trying to "keep the peace."

When we don't have good boundaries, it's usually because we want to avoid conflict, or avoid losing a relationship. But If you have to work so hard to "keep the peace," do you even have real peace in the first place?

In this week's episode, I share why we often strive to "keep the peace," and what happens when we stop all that and experience Jesus' true, lasting peace. I also discuss how knowing His peace helps us find relationships where we can share peace, and deal with relationships where peace isn't shared.
