In this episode of Conjuring the Human Spirit, hosts Shawn McGuire Meeks and Allison Parr Plasha gather at the peaceful and purposeful "Farm" in Pinehurst, Georgia to discuss the profound spiritual teaching 'love everybody, but some people you want to love at a distance.'

They explore how boundaries and discernment intersect, highlighting boundaries as protective measures and discernment as the wisdom to know where those boundaries should be. They delve into personal anecdotes and broader societal implications, including stories from their own lives and community experiences, to illustrate the importance of setting boundaries lovingly and authentically.

The conversation also touches on the concept of 'gut feelings' as a source of discernment and the complexities of maintaining relationships while protecting one's peace. This enlightening discussion offers practical advice on navigating personal and professional relationships with grace and authenticity, emphasizing the ultimate goal of living a life full of love and truth.
