When you set a boundary and then enforce the consequences when that boundary is broken, you can generally expect people to push back. This can be painful, and you can easily grow weary. Isn’t it better to keep the peace? Gain a new perspective for standing firm in the face of attack, and learn how to do what’s right regardless of the reactions of others. It’s part of June Hunt’s biblical and practical series Boundaries: How to Set Them – How to Keep Them.

Fences around a yard, curbs on the street, lines around a football field … these are obvious boundaries. Crossing them comes with consequences. But what about personal boundaries – those limits in your life that cannot, or should not, be crossed by others? June Hunt helps us discover the truth about boundaries and what some people call “tough love.”

When was the last time you took a good look at your relationships? Are they all healthy? Do you need to set some boundaries? Listen as June Hunt talks with a mom who’s thinking about her relationships with her three adult children. She’s worried that setting boundaries is going to damage those relationships. However, if she continues on with the way things are … that’s going to cause other problems.

When you set a boundary and enforce the consequences when that boundary is broken, you can expect people to push back. This can be painful. It can be really easy to give in, let go of the boundary, and let things go back to the way they were. June Hunt gives us a new perspective for standing firm and doing what’s right regardless of the actions of others.
