How Cutting Toxic People Off Could Actually Hurt You

About this episode

Libby Glosson discusses the implications of labeling people as toxic and the call for a more merciful response according to scripture.

Social media says the solution to difficult people is simple: cut them off and protect your peace. But what if labeling someone “toxic” is quietly training your heart to forget the mercy you received in Christ? Join Libby Glosson to rediscover why scripture calls women to a deeper, harder, and far more freeing response than canceling relationships. ___ Thanks for listening!
