The Guilt of Saying No: When Boundaries Feel Un-Christian

If saying no makes you feel guilty, you may be carrying responsibilities God never asked you to carry. In this episode of H.E.R. Faithful Next Step™, we’re talking about the difference between being loving and becoming over-responsible — and why a healthy boundary is not the same thing as being selfish. We’ll walk through three things to remember: • Guilt is not always guidance. • Helping is different from carrying everything. • A healthy boundary protects what God has given you to steward.
