Blended Families, Boundaries, and Beliefs: Standing Firm in Faith Episode 28

What do you do when your blended family challenges your time, work, and beliefs? When the people closest to you seem to push against everything you stand for, how do you navigate the tension without compromising your faith? Let’s uncover what God is saying about standing firm in love and truth."
In this episode, I’m diving into the challenges of navigating a blended family where respect for time, work, and beliefs feels like an uphill battle. I’ve made plenty of mistakes, and I’m still learning, but God has been speaking to me about what it means to stand firm without compromise.
1 Corinthians 6:7-17 reminds us of the importance of staying true to our convictions, even when it feels like a knife in the back. Blended families often bring different perspectives, beliefs, and struggles, but here’s the truth: God’s refining work is happening in you and through you. His ways are higher than ours, and this journey may be the very process that changes hearts—including your own.
If you’re struggling with division in your blended family, remember that God is not finished with your story. Stand firm in your faith, love unconditionally, and trust that He’s working on you and them in ways you can’t yet see. Tune in as we explore how to navigate the challenges of blended families with grace, truth, and unwavering belief."
