People Pleasing: A Symptom of Growing Pains

About this episode

The episode explores the challenges of being kind while learning to set boundaries and say no.

On this week's episode I go deeper into the hardships of being a kind person. Knowing when to draw the line between being nice to people and pleasing them is something that can make or break your success with denying your flesh. This is something I am still learning to teach myself to do, but I thought this topic has always been trendy in my life. In this season, I am trying my best to say NO and be okay with people not understanding the way I move now. Scripture References: Mathew 16:24 "Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after ME, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."
