In this six-session video Bible study (guide sold separately),
bestselling author Gary Thomas draws on Jesus' example to teach us how
to handle difficult relationships--and to help us discern when we should
walk away.
As Christians, we may feel that imitating Christ's love means we must
always meet the needs of unhealthy people in our lives and endure
poisonous relationships. Many of us have dealt with toxic individuals
who drain us of our joy and peace--who never seem to change no matter
how long we wait or how hard we pray. It's a hard truth, but sometimes
the best course is to distance ourselves from certain relationships and
dedicate our energy elsewhere.
Drawing from years of pastoral experience, Gary Thomas looks at biblical
examples from the lives of Jesus, Paul, and Nehemiah to give you
insightful, biblical wisdom that you can apply right away to the
relationships around you. You'll discover how to:
- Learn the difference between difficult people and toxic people.
- Find refuge in God when you feel under attack.
- Discern when "enough is enough" and when to "wait it out."
- Keep a tender heart even in unhealthy relationships.
- Strengthen your defense and set healthy boundaries.
- Grow your inner strength and invest in reliable people.
We can't let others steal our joy or our mission. It's time to follow
Jesus' example to walk away from toxic people and walk toward healthy
relationships. And as we do, it frees us to focus completely on the
purpose that God has established for our lives.
