The Connected Life

49: Spirituality and Boundaries Pt 1 of 2


Listen Later

We've all had people with authority and influence over our lives, whether it's bosses, pastors, coaches, or leaders in general. As children we learn that we can either submit or rebel to this authority. Unfortunately, this two-mode response system often carries over into adulthood.

If we're hurt by, or disagree with the leaders in our world, we respond with judgment and condescension.
