Where do you need to create a healthy boundary in your leadership?

[@JordanVeraBurg]

I think it would be in time/energy management. Learning that I don’t have to say “yes” to every meeting.

[@stephaniethompson7995]

he was so respectful towards her.. what a moving thing to see.

[@jamilacharles5485]

Congrats 🎉🎉🎉 Craig groishil you are Great leadership Gód Bless you and your family Amen

[@jamilacharles5485]

Thanks for Jesus Christ and you God bless you and your family Amen Hallelujah 🙏

[@Rowingstud]

I see myself doing all the things Lisa said but getting up in front of people. Lord willing, I can be impactful from the shadows.

[@GenaroSantiagoR]

Thanks for sharing all this kwnoledge! Many new thougths came to my mind that would help me become a better leader/person! God Bless You!

[@katrinabogie9310]

Thank you both! You are two of my favorites. I just completed listening to Lysa's; The Hard Good via Audible and downloaded Good Boundaries and Goodbyes. Thank you both for your insights, wisdom and doing what you do!

[@simonmakokha4374]

BE BLESSED.SHALOM. JESUS IS LORD

Loving the messsge❤

[@staceybaird289]

Love this Pastor Craig about Healthy Boundaries and Lysa TerKeurst love this .and love both of your Podcasts

[@wynandswanepoel6277]

This is amazing. Thank you for this. Watching this from South Africa 🇿🇦 love the way Lysa explains her points. The one that stood out in this season is. ''A boundary without a consequence is nothing but a suggestion-and one that’s not likely to be taken. There should be logical consequences for boundaries when they aren’t respected'' this is so good 🤯🤯

[@williamsfamily3260]

Lysa, try the house plant hobby:) Start with an easy to please plant: pothos, philodendron, snake plant, spider plant, aloe vera, ZZ plant, & a plethora of succulents. These don't require much care, lighting is the most important consideration. Congrats on your 3rd visit to Craig's podcast:) Thank you both!

[@ricksanborn6629]

Hi Craig, I love your videos even though I am not a leader. I think they offer profound insights for anyone seeking to move them along on their journey. I did detect in this video a very subtle hint of scornfulness when you suggested that it might actually be illegal in some places to assert that the pandemic is over. Not that I wouldn't agree that people's reaction to COVID may be out of line with reasonable precaution, I presume this characterization is hyperbolic. I need not tell you that scorn however offhand and perhaps seemingly well-deserved rarely moves people in God's direction. But you are doing God's work, I pray for your greatest success, and I'll continue watching.

[@pellan01]

Loved the difference between privacy and secretcy

[@beckyrussell831]

What a phenomenal POD Cast! Wow - so much good stuff here.

[@simonmakokha4374]

THANK YOU PASTOR CRAIG FOR DOPING GODS WORK. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

[@srourfamily]

this is great but i will add just be there for others!!! Charity, Hope and Love, the missionary of us in the work with Jesus!

[@leadasia8055]

Thank you Craig for your podcast. It would be also great to hear from a leader who probably has just 50 members in his church or a small organization but has wisdom. sometimes hearing all the big influential leaders are great but It might also project success in a different format Wisdom is deeper. listening to the wisdom of a small organization or even cross culture leaders from different countries might be something many leaders might need to take. I am thankful for your podcast and have learned a lot from you. thanks once again.

[@rochellecaffee1417]

I really like the way Lysa thinks, and so appreciate the interview between the 2 of you. Thanks to you both!❤😊

[@Romans12.2]

Love this!!! I wish we had more places like the both of yours here where I live. I worked for a church which is why I walked away. The amount of abuse inside the church was worse then the amount of abuse I have healed from. Glad to have found both of you in my journey which is on year 10 of walking with Jesus.

[@dillonsmith-6982]

Excellent conversation! Love Lysa!

[@buddyrye9190]

A boundary that’s pretty clear in scripture (Exodus) is when Jethro (Moses’ father in law) consults Moses to administer judges to deal with internal disputes.

[@risewithme7]

LOVE Lysa! She is a powerful writer + speaker.

[@igotthehottsforu]

Love Lysa!!! Love her mindset!!!

[@Joaniecjo]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1564">26:04</a> Discussion on good boundaries begins here! ❤

A great Hobby is Gourd Art Lysa.

[@hummingbird_stacycares]

Thank you for this

[@user-cs1rx2dk4g]

I likes her so much

[@user-gk3os9gl7b]

Oh good mother

[@rochellecaffee1417]

I don’t think we should “limit” people (and their creativity) with our personal “needs to control”, directing, controlling, and assuming authority over those we have HIRED to THINK, BRAINSTORM, and LOOK/CONSIDER ALL THE OPTIONS, when a specific problem is needing to be solved. Yes, this should happen within a “job description” and “framework”, that is made clear, BEFORE the hiring and work begins. That way every one has the truthful “information” they need to make a good decision to “join” or not to “join”. My 2 cents…😊

[@yayabowie7829]

Question. Our leaders have been pastors for over 40 years. But they do not trust ‘us’. I’ve been there for 15 years. I want to do more to help them because they keep saying (from the pulpit) that they are tired of doing everything. But when I offer to help, they say they have trust issues because they’ve been “burned” so many times and that I need to have patience as they walk through their mistrust. Honestly, I am tired of hearing that. The only people they allow to help are their family members. As a member and servant leader there for 15 years, I do not feel valued or appreciated by them although they “say” they do value me. It’s such a contradiction to my soul. I am saddened by it…

[@simonmakokha4374]

HI PASTOR LYSA HOW ARE TODAY?

[@simonmakokha4374]

THANK YOU MAN OF GOD FOR YOUR SWEET TEACHING UPON ME. FEEL HAPPY AND BLESSED. I LOVE YOU ALL.PAQSTOR CRAIG IS A GOOD MAN,HE IS THE LORDSV SERVANT.

Ministry marketplace? That's a concerning phrase from a Christian perspective.

[@user-gk3os9gl7b]

It was not right to do in life to do this evil job
