Do I Have To Stay Close To Toxic Family?

Do I Have To Stay Close To Toxic Family?

Does one toxic family member hijack every holiday gathering? Do you feel your stomach tighten days before Christmas because you already know the chaos is coming, but nobody knows how to stop it without a blowup?

In this episode I am going to show you what the Bible actually says about toxic family dynamics, guilt, and boundaries. We will walk through Matthew 10:34–39 and explain why loyalty to Yeshua sometimes requires hard lines, even with family. This is not therapy talk. This is biblical clarity, Hebraic context, and practical steps you can use before the next gathering.

In this episode, you will learn:

1. How to honor family without enabling unrepentant harm.
2. What “peace” really means in the Bible, and why “keeping the peace” can become bondage.
3. Simple, speakable boundary phrases for the person who disrupts, manipulates, or dominates the holiday.
4. What to do when the family system protects the toxic person and pressures you to stay quiet.

Comment question: When you think about the next family gathering, what hits you first? Anxiety, anger, dread, guilt, or exhaustion?
