How to Stop People Pleasing as a Christian | Why You Keep Putting Yourself Last

Are you serving everyone around you while quietly running yourself into the ground?

Matthew and Leah talk about Christian people pleasing, boundaries, self-neglect, and why constantly putting yourself last is not the same thing as faithfulness.

They unpack why Jesus withdrew, rested, prayed, ate, and allowed people to be disappointed — and why Christians are not called to keep everyone happy at the expense of their own health.

You’ll also learn the difference between being a peacemaker and a peacekeeper, how fear of rejection or conflict can drive people pleasing, and why some of us have trained our families and communities to expect constant access.

The question is not simply:

“Why can’t I say no?”

It may be:

“Why does their disappointment feel dangerous?”

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Not instead of yourself.
