📖 Episode Summary:
In this powerful continuation of the Healing & Boundaries series, Todd Tononi unpacks what happens after we set healthy boundaries — the testing. Whether it’s guilt, pressure, manipulation, or internal self-doubt, every God-honoring boundary will be challenged.
Todd guides listeners through how to stand strong when those boundaries are pushed, ignored, or rejected — not with anger, but with spiritual authority and unwavering clarity. You’ll learn how to respond with grace and strength, reinforce your peace, and understand why resistance isn’t a setback — it’s often confirmation that you’re walking in alignment with God’s will.
This is the next-level conversation we all need when healing becomes costly, and growth requires new levels of obedience.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Boundaries are spiritual assignments — and they will be tested

- Jesus modeled clarity and non-negotiable truth with love
- Learn practical phrases and postures to hold your ground without burning bridges
- Discover 3 truths to remember when pressure rises
- Reinforce your healing with spoken affirmations and one bold call to action
