In this episode, we walk through 7 powerful biblical examples of boundaries—including Jesus, Moses, Nehemiah, Esther, and the apostles—and what they actually modeled when it came to saying no. You’ll learn: Why saying no can feel wrong, not just hard The difference between guilt and conviction How anxiety symptoms and burnout are often connected to overgiving How to stay grounded when guilt and second-guessing show up Because boundaries aren’t unfaithful. They’re often the very thing that allows you to live in alignment with what you’re actually called to do.
