Episode 57: Should I Turn the Other Cheek? Why It's the Opposite of Being a Doormat & How to Stand Firm in the Face of Gaslighting, Manipulation, and Toxicity The Best of You
-
- Mental Health
Phew! Today’s episode gets fiery 🔥🔥🔥! Many of us were taught to “turn the other cheek” as a call to be a doormat or to naively “love someone” into change. In today's episode, I’m not holding back as I paint a picture of what I think the Bible really teaches about standing firm against toxicity.
You'll discover a completely different picture of what it means to turn the other cheek. Here's what we cover:
1. What "turn the other cheek" really means
2. What the Bible has to say about toxic behavior
3. Why it doesn’t work to “love people” into change
4. Examples of toxicity & how to protect yourself
5. How to be shrewd when dealing with gossip, cruelty or manipulation
