"Allowing toxicity to persist in a relationship can hinder the growth, peace, and joy that God desires for us. Recognizing the impact of toxic behaviours is about setting healthy boundaries that protects our heart".
SNIPPET - How to Biblically Disarm Toxic Individuals.
"Toxic people can be deeply challenging to navigate, not because they are beyond redemption or unworthy of love, but because their behaviours often stem from unresolved pain, fear, or unhealthy coping mechanisms. These behaviours can create an environment of manipulation, criticism, or emotional imbalance that drains the well-being of those around them.
As Christians, we are called to love others, but love does not mean enduring harm. Jesus teaches his disciples in Matthew 10:16 “listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves"
Allowing toxicity to persist in a relationship can hinder the growth, peace, and joy that God desires for us. Recognizing the impact of toxic behaviours is not about condemnation. It is about setting healthy boundaries that protects our heart. These boundaries honour God’s design for relationships, which is built on mutual respect, care, and trust".
