In this episode of our “Breaking Down Forgiveness” series, we’re going to dive a little deeper into how to forgive the people in your life that you’re kind of “stuck with.” We’re talking about people like your mom, dad, sibling, boss, or even your spouse. These situations can feel tricky, so we hope you find this episode helpful!

Also, in this episode…

Assessing the boundaries you need to set up in a difficult relationship

Tips on having a conversation with someone about boundaries

Resources mentioned in this episode:

Lysa TerKeurst – Forgiving What You Can’t Forget

Cloud and Townsend – Boundaries

Mercy Multiplied’s – MPower Workshop

In her book, Lysa TerKeurst offered these questions to consider:

What do I need to do in this relationship to stay consistent in my character, conduct, and communication?

What are some areas of my life where I have the most limited capacity? (at my job, in parenting, during the holidays…)

Do I feel the freedom in this relationship to communicate what I can and cannot give without the fear of being punished or pushed away?

What are some realistic restrictions I can place on myself to reduce the access this person has to my most limited emotional or physical resources?

What time of the day is most HEALTHY for me to interact with this person? What time of the day is the most unhealthy time for me to interact with this person?

How am I suffering the consequences of their choices more than they are? What are their most realistic and unrealistic?
