Open up to Alma 30:5 and let’s study why your kid probably says “nothing” when you ask them what happened at school.
Setting a boundary doesn’t mean that your relationship is going to suffer. Ideally it means that your relationship has the potential to grow and become even better! Hank talks about navigating challenging family relationships and what to do when people don’t respect the boundaries you set.
What type of boundaries are necessary when your friends are pressuring you to do something that you don’t feel is right, or just don’t want to do? How do you handle those situations as a parent when you watch it happening to your child? Hank discusses ways to empower yourself as a parent, strengthen your children who may be experiencing it, and “build a strong fence” so you can be a healthy, welcoming, and loving neighbor to those around you.
Family dynamics can create some tricky situations, especially when you’re dealing with in-laws! Hank answers a question from a listener about preserving family harmony when you and your in-laws don’t necessarily see “eye-to-eye”.
Boundaries are not something we talk a lot about in the church, especially when it comes to our service. Hank talks more about protecting your peace and making the most of your time with the people who matter most in your life.
