In this episode, we dive into the complex and often painful issue of setting boundaries with addicted loved ones—something many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and other Christians find particularly challenging. For those who are committed to showing unconditional love, the idea of drawing a line can feel like a betrayal, or even a lack of compassion. But when love becomes enabling, it can unintentionally perpetuate the cycle of addiction.

We explore why members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and other Christians struggle so much to hold healthy boundaries, including the tension between mercy and justice, the fear of appearing unloving, and the deep sense of responsibility that often comes with family relationships. Through practical insights, biblical wisdom, and real-life examples, we discuss how to navigate this difficult terrain without compromising both your faith and you and your family's well-being.

If you’ve ever felt torn between helping your loved one and protecting yourself or your family, or if you’re unsure how to love someone in addiction without enabling them, this episode will offer encouragement, clarity, and a path forward.
