Episode Synopsis

Have you ever felt guilty for saying “no”? In this episode of the Only 1 Thing Podcast, John and Jonathan unpack why “no” isn’t selfish, it’s actually a Spirit-led boundary that can protect your calling, relationships, and walk with Jesus.
Drawing from Lisa TerKeurst’s The Best Yes, we’ll explore how every “yes” is also a “no” to something else, and how Jesus Himself modeled healthy boundaries by choosing the Father’s will over people’s demands. Together, we’ll look at Scripture, practical steps for praying through decisions, and how to give a gracious “no” that actually becomes a greater “yes” to God’s best.
If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, overcommitment, or the pressure to always say yes, this conversation will encourage you to step into freedom and realign your priorities with God’s Kingdom.
Tune in, lean in, and discover how saying “no” can actually honor Jesus.
