Sacred Spaces — Stewarding Relationships with Honor and Humility

In a world that rewards hot takes and quick clap-backs, Jesus calls us to something better: honor, humility, and Spirit-led boundaries. This conversation gets practical about stewarding relationships—marriage, friendships, coworkers, ministry—like the sacred spaces they are.

In this episode

  • How to honor people you disagree with (without going passive)
  • Humility over pride: why connection beats competition
  • Setting Spirit-led boundaries that protect, not punish
  • Forgiveness as releasing uncollectible debt (Eph 4:32)
  • Valuing people over preferences (Phil 2:3)
  • Seeing every relationship as ministry (Col 3:23)
  • Inviting the Holy Spirit into your daily interactions

Scriptures

Romans 12:9–18; Philippians 2:3; Ephesians 4:32; Proverbs 4:23; Ephesians 6:10–18; Colossians 3:23

Reflection questions

  1. Where am I choosing preference over people?
  2. What boundary (Spirit-led) would protect connection this week?
  3. Who do I need to forgive—and what debt am I still trying to collect?
  4. How does the Holy Spirit see the person I’m struggling with?

Weekly challenge

  • Pray: “Holy Spirit, how can I honor someone today?”
  • Put one boundary in place that preserves peace.
  • Replace one criticism with encouragement—on purpose.
