Go deeper with the Building A Home Of Godliness And Joy devotional workbook.

 

Episode 272 // None of us can enjoy family life without having healthy boundaries - with those outside our family and inside it! There are different types of boundaries and they will look different with each person. But they all boil down to the same thing:

 

What are you willing and able to say NO to?

 

Saying “no” is a skill that we can build. And saying “no” without the guilt and the awkwardness is an art form that we can practice! Even as Christians, the wise and good thing is to learn when (and how) to say NO and set healthy boundaries.

 

Today, you’ll get a family counselor’s perspective on the topic of boundaries, along with some practical tips to make saying no more realistic in your own life. 

 

Ready? Let’s do this!

 

hugs & blessings,

Jess
