Jesus said “no”—to good opportunities, to well-meaning people, and to heavy expectations. Why? Because every no protected His greater yes to the Father’s will. In this episode of Sunday Ripple, Rob unpacks how Jesus modeled healthy boundaries throughout His ministry and what that means for us today.

You’ll discover:

• Why Jesus walked away from “good” opportunities that weren’t part of His mission
• How He set limits with people—even close friends like Peter—without losing compassion
• The freedom He found in resisting cultural and family expectations
• Practical ways boundaries help us love better, stay focused, and live faithfully
• How learning to say no frees us to say yes to God’s calling in our lives

If you’ve ever struggled with overcommitment, people-pleasing, or the pressure to live up to others’ expectations, this conversation will encourage you. Learn how Jesus’ example invites you to live with clarity, courage, and joy—saying yes to what matters most.
