How to Get Over the Fear of Saying No | Kinds of Boundaries Christians Should Set @christianconvos

I feel obligated to say yes as a Christian! I'm spreading myself to thin! I'm spreading myself to thin! Let's talk about Biblical boundaries!

Are you feeling obligated to say yes? Do you have permission to be human? You need to stop pleasing others and today we talk about how to cure the disease to please. "Not looking only to your own needs but also to the needs of others" seems to be misunderstood by many today. You can't help others if you don't help yourself! I have committed myself to too much recently. Feeling guilty when you can't be there for everyone has become the new norm of western society. So many are feeling guilty for calling off work when they need to. Saying no as a Christian can leave one feeling like an inconvenience. Is it morally wrong to say no? We discuss why being a people-pleaser is bad for you and how to STOP being a people-pleaser but still be nice. Jack talks on how to set boundaries at work with your boss and co-workers. Jordan talks about the importance of communication in a relationship and setting expectations for yourself. Christians should not be a yes man (or woman). Being there for everyone is not realistic and many do not look for the signs of emotional burnout. Still, picking and choosing has left many feeling guilty for the choices made. It's no wonder why people say, "I never have energy to do anything" or "I'm always tired and have no energy". It's time to discuss how to set boundaries at work, in a relationship (especially toxic relationships), while dating, as a Christian and how to say no to someone without hurting their feelings. We oftentimes have a fear of hurting others or just a fear of men in general. We get scared to let our guard down in certain situations. We want to be a hero when it comes to being there for others but not there for you. Mental health awareness and healthy boundaries are closely linked. While the focus is to show you how to say no as a Christian without feeling guilty, unfortunately, there will be times that you are treated poorly as a result. So, how should a Christian respond when they are mistreated? Responding gracefully even when there is a pressure to inconvenience ourselves and then dealing with the lack of understanding Biblically, is key! I am joined with Jack from @christianconvos for another Mental Health Monday where we tackle psychology from a Christian perspective!

📖 SCRIPTURE REFERENCED IN THE VIDEO:

► (Matthew 5:35-37, King James Version Bible)
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

► (Philippians 2:4, KJVB)
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
