Ep. 044 – Flashback Friday | From Destructive to Healthy: Boundaries, Mutuality & Freedom with Leslie Vernick | Part 1: Whole Life Podcast Relaunch
In today’s Flashback Friday on the Heart Journey Podcast, we’re serving up some leftover charcuterie board goodness from the World Women’s Wholeness Summit 2020 
I’m sharing Part 1 of an important, practical, Jesus-centered talk from my dear friend Leslie Vernick on:
What healthy relationships actually look like
The difference between normal sin and destructive patterns
Why you can’t be spiritually mature and emotionally immature
How mutuality, reciprocity, and freedom are essential ingredients in any God-honoring relationship
Why “pretending,” people-pleasing, and over-accommodating actually harm wholeness
How to begin speaking the truth in love and owning your “yes” and your “no”
Leslie is speaking primarily to women about destructive marriages and relationships, but these dynamics apply to men and women alike. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this just hard… or is this toxic?”…this episode will be a lifeline.
Note: The thoughts and opinions expressed by our guests are their own and may not always reflect the views of Dr. Barbara or Heart Journey Ministry.
