Hope for Right Now Podcast – Truth with Handles: How to Set Boundaries

When you’re navigating life’s challenges, you don’t need truth dumped all over you or shouted at you all at once; you need practical, faith-filled wisdom and Bible verses for everyday struggles. At Walking with Purpose, we call this “truth with handles”—biblical truths you can actually hold onto and provide relief from your pressure points.

Each week during our six-week series, Truth with Handles, Laura shares a new topic with a corresponding Scripture passage, breaking it down into actionable, hope-filled steps to strengthen your faith and bring peace to your daily life.

Today's topic: How to Set Boundaries. Do you struggle to take ownership of your life? Are you so consumed with everyone else’s issues, that you’ve made their problems your own? As a Christian do you wonder when it is biblically appropriate to set limits? Tune in to hear how Laura is lightening her load and working her way to owning her life through setting boundaries!

Open your Heart to our key Scripture.

Matthew 5:37: Let what you say be simply “yes” or “no”; anything more than that comes from evil.

Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.

Genesis 1:27-28: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and of the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
Galatians 6:2: Bear one another’s burdens.
Galatians 6:5: For each man will have to bear his own load.

Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.

Ask yourself: What’s in my knapsack? Is it my FAB (feelings, attitudes, behaviors)?

Am I carrying the feelings and problems of others?

Am I doing for someone what they ought to be doing for themselves?

Am I carrying a load that does not belong to me?

Is my help helping, or am I making things worse?
