Are Boundaries Biblical?

JOYFUL JOURNEY PODCAST
About this episode

What are "boundaries" in relationships, and are they biblical? Many counselees use this term, but its meaning isn't always clear.

Janet and Jocelyn examine the origins of "boundaries" and explore biblical teachings on relationships, particularly how loving our enemies intersects with setting personal limits. Can Christians set biblical boundaries in relationships?
