Ep 142: How To Have Friendship Boundaries // Draw The Line Series with Bianca Juarez Olthoff

Have you turned your boundary line into a boundary wall? If you find yourself lonely because of unrealistic boundaries, today you can take a sledge hammer and Bring.The.Wall.Down. 
I want us to have a real talk and address the issues of isolation and loneliness that many people experience. I want to emphasize:

The importance of community and relationships

The need for boundaries in friendships 

The challenges that come with maintaining healthy relationships

The different levels of friendships

Friendship is not codependency

In some cases we can find ourselves looking at our friends and thinking; “what the heck?” That’s because we don’t have a clear definition of what “friend" means and we’ve given access to the wrong people into our friendship circles. I want you to walk away knowing what friendship IS and IS NOT. 
Remember that true friendship and fulfillment can be found in Jesus.
Tag me @biancaolthoff and let me know what healthy lines you’ve drawn in your life.
Love you,
B
