The Walk Away Disciples

We’re featuring my book When to Walk Away: Finding Freedom from Toxic People this week and next, as I’m also preaching on this topic at Cherry Hills Community Church. The sermons (which we’ll post on Fridays for all subscribers) offer a general introduction to Jesus’ strategy of walking away from toxic people rather than continually engaging them. Here, on the paid side, I’m offering two chapters that needed to be cut from the original book due to its length. If you have not noticed, books tend to be getting shorter and shorter due to costs and attention spans. In this case, the publisher liked the chapters but believed focusing on Jesus was sufficient; readers didn’t need another chapter talking about how the disciples did the same. But I was blown away while studying how earnestly Paul, Peter and even John (the apostle of love) taught and practiced the art of walking away. So I’m happy to share that here this week on the blog, as I think these three men make some very excellent and helpful points about how to handle toxic people.
