Christian Boundaries: Why "No" Isn't Selfish (and How God Uses Boundaries to Protect You)
from Joy in the Junk Hosted by joyinthejunkpodcast
Let's talk about boundaries — the word that makes half of us feel guilty and the other half feel relieved. In this episode, Ashlee and Blair get honest about: - Jesus' own boundaries: why He took only Peter, James, and John deeper into the garden - The horse at the fence: do God's boundaries make you feel safe, or blocked? - The difference between boundaries you set out of fear and the ones God sets for your protection - Why the 10 Commandments are protection, not punishment (and what happened when Zedekiah ignored them) - Proverbs 4:23 — guarding your heart without building walls - The fence vs. the wall: you can love someone, pray for them, and still not trust them with your heart - Friendship seasons, and why even Paul and Barnabas had to split for a while Plus Ashlee's personal story of the thing she begged God for — and the day she realized His "no" was the greatest protection of her life. If saying no makes you feel like a bad Christian, this episode will set you free. Scripture mentioned: Proverbs 4:23, the Gospels (Gethsemane), 2 Kings (fall of Judah) Email your questions to [email protected]. Thank you for being at our table.
