S2 E168: Do Christians Have to Explain Every Boundary?
from Unpolished but Called · host Kathrin Shaffer
When you say no, how much explanation do you actually owe someone?Sometimes loving communication requires an explanation. Sometimes responsibility means having an uncomfortable conversation. But explaining a decision isn't the same as defending it indefinitely—and someone disagreeing with your boundary doesn't automatically make it negotiable.In this episode, Kathrin walks through boundaries, people-pleasing, accountability, communication, and the biblical tension between bearing one another's burdens and carrying our own responsibilities.Because sometimes the other person understands your answer perfectly well.They just don't like it.Scripture referenced:Exodus 18:17–18Mark 1:35–38Ephesians 4:15Matthew 5:37Proverbs 18:13Galatians 1:10Romans 12:18Galatians 6:2, 5Proverbs 12:15Philippians 2:4James 5:12🎙️ Unpolished but Called with Kathrin ShafferYouTube: https://youtube.com/@kathrinshafferWebsite: https://kathrinshaffer.comMore links & resources: https://linktr.ee/kathrinshaffer
