Let’s be honest. Setting boundaries is no easy task. In fact, for many people, the thought of having to set a boundary can feel downright scary.

What if the other person doesn’t react well or refuses to follow the boundary you’ve set?

As Christians, it can be even more challenging to set boundaries because we worry that we are unloving or selfish, or that our boundaries will get in the way of our ability to serve others.

But never setting boundaries can easily lead to chaos, burnout, and unhealthy relationships.

So how can we love others well while still establishing important (and needed) boundaries in our relationships?

In this episode of the SHE podcast, I talk with the head of Proverbs 31 Ministries and bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst about everything you need to know to set healthy boundaries as a Christian.

BTW, if you don’t know Lysa TerKeurst, you should! Lysa is president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and the author of more than twenty-five books.

Her newest book, Good Boundaries and Goodbyes, dives into the importance of setting boundaries in order to build healthy relationships. She has so much wisdom to share and I can’t wait for you to hear it!
