Gary Thomas on breaking free from toxic people, boundaries, and purpose


Listen Later

I’m with the legendary Gary Thomas to talk about his new book "When To Walk Away". We'll explore toxic relationships, how we can recognize them, and examine how Jesus set boundaries in his own life. 

This message from Gary is life-changing, and if you struggle with a toxic relationship in your life, he will equip you with tools to break free in a healthy, biblical way. 


In this episode we discuss:

1. The difference between a difficult relationship and a toxic one.

2. Playing spiritual offense vs spiritual defense

3. Why it's so important to break free from toxic cycles

 

Favorite quotes:

1. If somebody is trying to get you to stop being you or get you to stop doing what you are convinced God wants you to do- for you that person is toxic. It’s an attack on your being and an attack on your mission.

2. Jesus had such a freedom to walk away and it wasn’t about failing or succeeding it was about the person just not receiving.

3. I walk away from toxic people not to go binge Netflix. I walk away to invest with reliable people. I walk away from toxic relationships into healthy relationships. 



In this episode I answer these questions:

1. How can I motivate myself to make changes in my life? (43:08)

2. What’s your perspective on the best way to evangelize? (47:58)

3. What’s the best advice you can give a woman with a dream? (53:53)
