Our call system ran into some issues on this episode so all of the questions below were written-in during the live chat on YouTube and Facebook.

If your future sister-in-law tells you that boundaries are unbiblical and that Christians are to instruct and rebuke one another, are boundaries worth discussing with her? She\\u2019s telling my fianc\\xe9 and me how to live our lives: how many times to attend church, what are sexual activities need to be, what we should do with finances, etc. What\\u2019s the best way to approach this? Should we try to show her why boundaries are healthy? Or should we just say, \\u201cPlease keep your unsolicited advice to yourself. We\\u2019re not interested.\\u201d

How does someone communicate a boundary when it is always met with anger and defensiveness? That anger and defensiveness causes fear in the one trying to communicate the boundary and the person trying to set the boundary is living with the other person?

\\xa0

How do you deal with a \\u201cPharisee \\u201d who thinks they are telling you truth when it is really their opinion that you don\\u2019t agree with? They have bible verses to back up what they say. When I disagree they tell me I just don\\u2019t want to listen to truth.

How do I know what is my gut instinct and what is my anxiety not wanting me to do something? I am learning how to trust myself when making decisions.

My boyfriend admitted he has low EQ and he wants to grow in it, but I don\\u2019t think he knows how or where to start. How can I help and encourage him without becoming controlling or having high expectations?

\\xa0

How can I recognize when I\\u2019m making an assumption about someone. Especially a wrong assumption?
