In this episode, I sit down with a question many Christians are afraid to ask out loud: when is it time to step back from a friendship with someone whose influence is pulling you away from Christ? I work through 2 Corinthians 6:14, Matthew 18:15–17, and Proverbs 4:23 to build a biblical framework for one of the hardest relational decisions a believer can face. We talk about the difference between love and unlimited access, the warning signs that a relationship has crossed a line, and what it looks like to walk away with grace while still leaving the door unlocked. If you have ever wrestled with guilt over creating distance, this conversation is for you.
