Boundaries and Trust
Trust is necessary for strong relationships. Some of us trust too much, and some of us are afraid to trust. But trust is something that we build together. When you know how to build it, trust is a safe and beautiful thing. Let's discuss how strong boundaries can help you become stronger by trusting in a safe way.
Boundaries at Work
If you are like most people, you spend a lot of your life at work. Work is a place with many possibilities for stress, conflict, risk, and loss. It is a place where you put in the best of who you are. You are serving, and at times sacrificing, trying to please, and also establishing friendships on the teams with whom you work. So it naturally follows that you can experience some emotionally trying times there.
The Wake of Influence
In this course, Dr. Henry Cloud walks you through the concept of “the wake.” In short, a wake is a force that leaves behind the experience of two things — results and relationships. What does your influence leave behind on a relationship? Ultimately, the wake doesn’t like, and it doesn’t care about excuses. It is what it is. No matter what we try to do to explain why, or justify what the wake is, it still remains. It’s what we leave behind, and is the result of our record.
Accountability
A lot of times, we don’t have a positive adaptation of accountability. Based on our experiences and the experiences others have had, we get defensive when we hear it and when we receive it, so it must be given with respect. Accountability can be a positive thing, and it’s important in terms of helping us get to where we want to be in our relationships.

Addressing Your Spiritual Needs
All growth is spiritual growth. Christians are aware of their need to grow. Some come to this point because they possess a hunger and desire to know God and his ways better. Others are interested through a problem or crisis that has driven them to seek his paths. We believe that getting to know God more deeply, growing emotionally, and having better relationships are all matters of spiritual growth and our boundaries. God has designed a path of growth that leads us to him and his ways. As we learn to experience that path, we enter life, our whole life. Our life is not split into “physical life” and “spiritual life.” They work as a whole. This changes our entire existence, encompassing emotions, behavior, relationships, career and everything else in life.
Revenge
Those who have good boundaries have transcended the need for revenge. Their first goal is to make things better for the other person or group. The other’s benefit is their utmost concern. That does not mean they have no interest at all in their own benefit. It simply means that in their treatment of others, their goal is to do well by them regardless of how they are treated. They are not interested in settling the score or getting even. Revenge is for immature people, and they know that ultimately the offending person is going to get what he deserves without his needing to bring it about. Life has a way of making that happen, as does also the natural law of sowing and reaping. But even this ultimate payback is not something that those with healthy boundaries wish on another person, and that is the true hallmark of their character.
