Every Yes Is a No: Boundaries That Protect What Matters Most
from A Cup of Hope: Life, Money, and Finding Beauty in the Broken · host Sherry DuShaw
Every yes is also a no. When we say yes to overscheduling, we say no to rest. When we say yes to overspending, we say no to peace. When we say yes to scrolling, we say no to connection.Boundaries aren’t about restriction — they’re about freedom. In this episode, I’m sharing four key areas where boundaries protect what matters most: time, money, devices, and energy. You’ll also hear a powerful reminder from Joshua 24:15 and a principle from Dr. John Delony that has reshaped how I see boundaries: choose guilt over resentment.Grab your favorite mug, and let’s talk about how to set boundaries that honor God and create space for connection.Some of the links below are affiliate links.
