About this listen

Your life's calling is too important to let toxic people take it away. When to Walk Away draws from biblical and modern stories to equip you to handle toxic people in your life and live true to your God-given purpose.

As Christians, we often feel the guilt and responsibility of meeting the needs of unhealthy people in our lives. Whether a sibling, parent, spouse, coworker, or friend, toxic people frequently seek to frustrate our life's calling. While you're seeking first God's kingdom, they're seeking first to distract your focus and delay your work. Instead of attempting the impossible task of mollifying toxic people, it's time we dedicate our energy to the only worthwhile effort: completing the work God has given us by investing in reliable people. It's only when we learn to say no to bad patterns that we can say yes to the good work God has planned for us.

Drawing from years serving as a pastor, Gary Thomas (best-selling author of Sacred Marriage) looks at biblical examples from the lives of Jesus, Paul, and Nehemiah to give you insightful, biblical includes insightful takeaways that you can apply right away. You'll discover how to:

  • Learn the difference between difficult people and toxic people
  • Find refuge in God when you feel under attack
  • Discern when to walk away from a toxic situation
  • Keep a tender heart even in unhealthy relationships
  • Grow your inner strength and invest in reliable people

We can't let others steal our joy or our mission. It's time to strengthen our defense, learn to set healthy boundaries, and focus on our God-given purpose. It's time to know When to Walk Away.

I have just finished the greatest book on toxic folks and boundaries for Christians behind Boundaries by Henry Cloud. I learned so much and this is helping me heal.

I listened to this on Audible over two days. I started listening to it to try to understand how to deal with toxic people in my life and ended up learning so much about myself. This book is steeped in scriptural truth. I ordered the book and am thinking about doing the six week study. In any event I will definitely be listening again as I make notes in the book. Excellent, solid teaching.

Wow!

We all deal with toxic people at some point. This book has really challenged my way of thinking about how to respond in a Christ-like way. it also is causing me to take a deeper look at my own heart and actions to ways I might be toxic... particularly to myself.

My only complaint is with the narration. i would encourage every author to use a professional voice actor to narrate for them in the same way they use editors for their material. it's worth the cost.

Excellent But Challenging

This book has been truly helpful for learning how to deal with family most of all. I highly recommend you read this book and take the time to put it into application, as difficult as it is to do.

This book is a need to read if you interact with people.

Reconfirmed this life is a battle ground.

Descriptively discussed the crazy offensive injurious schemes of evil expressed thru people in various presentations. Information is validating and edifying.

Most importantly, revives the Believer’s focus on Jesus’s pragmatism in combating evil.

Scriptural Review of THE WAY

I firmly believe that every person on this planet should read this book! I appreciate how Gary lays it out and shares wisdom as to why allowing toxic behavior isn’t acceptable in our lives.

Excellent book

Great topic that needs to be addressed. Author did an amazing job! I wish a professional narrator was used.

This book challenged my thinking.

The realities and hard truth in this book have given me a lot of affirmations. The truth is articulated in a way I wish I could. It has been the revelations that I've came to throughout my life, very well put. With the appropriate caveats and guardrails.

Timely Truth
