In this episode, I’m diving deep into something we all need, especially in a season of recovery—peace. And more importantly, how to protect that peace with healthy, God-honoring boundaries.As a cancer survivor, I know firsthand what it’s like to come out of a life-altering experience and feel overwhelmed by the world’s demands. After treatment, everyone wanted my time again—but I wasn’t ready. I had to learn to protect what God was restoring in me. That’s what this episode is all about.I share what the Bible says about peace, how Jesus modeled boundaries, and how we can set our own without guilt or shame. Whether you’re recovering from illness, grief, burnout, or just trying to keep your head above water—you are not alone, and your peace matters.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why peace is more than just quiet—it’s a promise and a practiceHow Jesus modeled healthy boundaries, even in ministryThe difference between biblical boundaries and culture’s versionHow to set boundaries in a way that honors God and othersPractical steps for protecting your energy, time, and healingEncouragement to let go of guilt and stop apologizing for restStories from my own journey with cancer, including how I learned (sometimes the hard way) to say noI also explore biblical examples like Nehemiah and Moses, and reference Rick Warren’s powerful reminder: You have just enough time to do God’s will.If you’ve ever struggled to say no… if you’ve ever felt guilty for needing space… if you’re in a season of rebuilding—this one is for you.Takeaway Question:What’s one boundary you can set this week to protect your peace?Scripture References:Galatians 5:22–23Philippians 4:7John 14:27Luke 5:16John 5:19Mark 6:31Nehemiah 6:3Exodus 18Psalm 23:2Romans 12:2Ephesians 4:2Philippians 2:3–4Healing isn’t just about getting better—it’s about getting whole.
