How to Set Healthy Boundaries as a Christian (Ft. Lysa TerKeurst)

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?
