Today we’re talking about we’re talking about When to Walk Away with Gary Thomas and you don’t want to miss it. Sometimes the line between healthy boundaries, sacrificial love and what’s biblical can get blurred- especially if we fall into traps of the guilt and shame that comes with people-pleasing even when a relationship is harmful or damaging to us. Well in this episode we’re un-blurring those lines with biblical wisdom from our guest.
