This boundary check-up applies Romans 13:10 to your relationship by having you answer four questions. The principle of love does no harm allows you to test the purpose and effect of your boundary for all impacted parties. It is often difficult to figure out your limits but to have the confidence to set them and stick to them, you need to know they are what they need to be. This check-up will help you do that. #christianboundaries #lovedoesnoharm #dysfunctionalrelationship #boundaries

Susan Justice is a retired nurse, author, and speaker, sharing the devastation of abortion and her healing through Jesus Christ. Susan uses her testimony to promote life-affirming solutions to persons facing unintended pregnancies and to share healing avenues with those impacted by abortion, honor her child, share the emotional/spiritual/relational “fall-out” that occurred, and educate on “Post Abortion Syndrome.” She desires to proclaim that healing is available through Jesus Christ for moms and dads.
Tragically, 18% (or nearly 1 out of every 5 pregnancies) in the U.S. end in abortion. One in four women (25%) have had an abortion by the age of 45. Fifty percent of those are repeat abortions. Sixty percent of those having abortions felt coerced. Forty- four percent of men report they did not have a voice in the abortion decision. Twenty-two million people are currently hurting after their abortion experiences. Eighty-two percent of people impacted by abortion do not know where to go for help. Medication abortion accounted for 53% of all facility-based abortions in the United States in 2020. That trend appears to be continuing.
Susan served in the past as the Coordinator of an Abortion Recovery Ministry at a Pro-Life Pregnancy Care Center. She has published articleswith Live Action, Pregnancy Help News, and other Pro-life media outlets. She has been the featured speaker on radio, at churches, banquets, and other venues. Susan is married to her best friend. They have two sons. Susan's booklet Out of Grief and Into Wholeness: Finding Healing Through Christ After Abortion (https://a.co/d/inPTAJS) is available on Amazon. (All proceeds are donated to Pro-life Pregnancy Resource Centers.)

We tend to over-explain ourselves to difficult people. It's almost as if we want their approval so we know they aren't upset with us. So what should you do? Should you explain or not explain your boundary? Should you explain or not explain the reason for the decision you made? The answer is: It depends. You need to figure out what is best for you in the specific situation with that person. There are times you should explain yourself and times you should not. To deal with dysfunctional people, you need to know principles to apply to choose the right option. Watch this video to find out which principles help you decide should you explain or not explain? #difficultrelationships #overexplaining #boundaries #christianboundaries

Spiritual bypassing harms the recipient by minimizing and shaming their pain rather than empathizing and supporting them. Many of these spiritual bypassing examples are also common Bible pat answers heard from church people when you share life problems. You have probably been the recipient of this harmful practice more than you realize, as it happens frequently. Learn to identify what this is so you will not do it and to recognize when it is being done to you. #dysfunctionalrelationship #spiritualbypassing #toxicrelationship
