Flying Free

But I Don't Want to Hurt Anyone! [91]


Listen Later

What if your desire to avoid hurting anyone is actually the reason you ARE hurting them? What if you're actually hurting YOURSELF by living out this desire too?

Boundaries don't hurt others, despite the loud voices that tell you otherwise. Healthy boundaries aren't meant to control other people, ensure they think well of you, or make you into a prickly cactus no one can approach. They're a way of living your truest self and your highest calling, while honoring the personhood of everyone around you.

Listen to learn more about:

  • The lie that keeps many women in bondage to poor boundaries.
  • Possible responses to setting boundaries, and how to reframe your thinking about them.
  • The truth that can set you free to live with healthy boundaries and without the guilt!
  • How healthy boundaries reflect the heart of Jesus and the way he lived on Earth.
