Summary

Hey Friends! My DMs and inbox have been full of questions lately about one specific topic – toxic relationships, and ultimately, toxic people. How to deal with them. How to identify them. And how to safeguard yourself against them as a Christian. So, I’m bringing back an episode from the archives with my friend Gary Thomas, where he talks in depth about toxicity, how to be in relationship with others, and how to break free of a toxic cycle. I hope it’s helpful to you as we invest in our emotional and relational health together in 2022! Listen in to learn more about: 1. The difference between a difficult relationship and a toxic one 2. Playing spiritual offense vs spiritual defense 3. Why it’s so important to break free from toxic cycles Favorite quotes: 1. If somebody is trying to get you to stop being you or get you to stop doing what you are convinced God wants you to do- for you that person is toxic. It’s an attack on your being and an attack on your mission. 2. Jesus had such freedom to walk away and it wasn’t about failing or succeeding it was about the person just not receiving. 3. I walk away from toxic people not to go binge Netflix. I walk away to invest with reliable people. I walk away from toxic relationships into healthy relationships. Great things we discussed: 1. Gary Thomas 2. When To Walk Away 3. Kari Jobe: Steady My Heart 4. A Practical Treatise Upon Christian Perfection 5. Strava app 6.. Kari Jobe : Favorite Place 8. Encanto 9. Standing Strong P.S. Gary will be back later this month for a new episode, and I can’t wait for you to find out what we’re talking about then. It’s a good one, y’all! Hope you loved this episode! Be sure to subscribe in iTunes and slap some stars on a review! :) xo, Alli www.alliworthington.com/garythomas2/

0:00.0	Hey, hey, this is Allie and welcome to the Allie Worthington show.
0:06.7	It's where we gather, learn, share our stories and have a great time.
0:10.8	Every week I'll be chatting with a friend who I know, who I like and I respect,
0:15.4	and I want to learn something from.
0:17.3	And after we have that discussion, we are going to have coaching time.
0:20.2	So I'm going to be
0:20.8	answering your questions about life, about faith, and about business. Welcome to the show today.
0:26.7	This show is a special one because of all the questions I've been getting about a specific topic,
0:33.0	toxic relationships and, well, toxic people. I get questions in every week that have to do with our
0:41.2	really strained relationships. Are they toxic? Are they not? How do we deal with this as believers?
0:47.9	How do we identify them? How do we handle it? How do we make sure that we're handling things in a
0:53.7	loving way, but we're
0:54.4	still having boundaries? You know, so much of this show is this focus on emotional health and
0:59.9	relational health and spiritual health. Because of this, I'm sharing a show from two years ago with
1:06.0	Gary Thomas, where we go in depth on this topic. Now, the funny thing is, as coincidence has it,
1:12.0	Gary is back with us next month talking about married sex.
1:16.0	And as you can imagine, the topic is way different.
1:18.9	There's going to be a warning at that podcast right at the beginning.
1:22.1	I'm just going to warn you in advance.
1:23.8	It's great, but it's a real conversation for grownups. But for this one, I want to air this
1:30.8	episode again because it is such an important topic. It is a topic we probably need to revisit
1:37.4	every year. And I want to share this one this week because the need is just so high right now
