Jodi Hemann, Discipleship Coach
I help everyday Christian women
honor boundaries like Jesus
so they can love fully, serve freely, and

align their priorities with God’s will.
"I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.” John 17:4
Learn to say NO - even to good things - so you can say YES to His daily call.
What are Biblical Boundaries?
Boundaries are personal limits established to protect our time, energy, and well-being, allowing us to honor our relationship with God, ourselves, and others. Biblically, boundaries help us maintain our identity and purpose, serving as a safeguard against overwhelm, manipulation, and unhealthy dependency. Just as Jesus set boundaries in His life by prioritizing time with the Father and staying focused on His mission (Mark 1:35), we too are called to establish boundaries that honor God’s design for rest, relationships, and stewardship. Boundaries allow us to love others well without compromising our own spiritual health and calling.
Why are Boundaries Important?
Many women struggle with overwhelm, people-pleasing, and burnout, often feeling trapped in unhealthy patterns that drain their energy and steal their joy. Unclear boundaries lead to stress, anxiety, and strained relationships, making it difficult to focus on the mission God has given them. By setting and honoring Christ-like boundaries, women can experience true freedom—freedom to serve without resentment, love without losing themselves, and walk confidently in obedience to God's design for their lives, just like Jesus.
Four Steps to Honoring Boundaries
STEP 1
Identifying the Struggle
Handling Temptation Like Jesus
The first step in setting boundaries is recognizing where your struggles lie. Are you feeling drained by unhealthy relationships? Struggling to obey God's Word? Lacking self-discipline? This is the moment of clarity where you identify the problem and acknowledge the impact it has on your life. Together, we’ll explore why this matters now and what it’s costing you—whether it’s your peace, time, joy, or ability to serve wholeheartedly.
STEP 2
Establishing Your Limits
Jesus Rested
Once you’ve identified the struggle, it’s time to define the boundaries that will protect your well-being and honor God. Jesus modeled His boundaries by withdrawing to pray and rest, setting clear expectations with His disciples, and staying focused on His mission despite pressure from others. In this step, I’ll help you prepare for difficult conversations, support you through those interactions, and encourage reconciliation and rest.
STEP 3
Maintaining Consistency
God's Truth Never Changes
Setting a boundary is one thing—maintaining it is another. This step is about consistency, even when it’s uncomfortable. It requires daily commitment, self-reminders, and reinforcing the same message to yourself and others. Like Jesus, who never wavered in His mission despite opposition, we must stand firm in the boundaries we’ve set. Over time, they become second nature, bringing lasting transformation and freedom.
STEP 4
Honoring Boundaries
Jesus' Way of Life
At this stage, boundaries are no longer just something you set; they are a way of life. You now recognize why they are loving, how to communicate them effectively, and how to honor them in all areas—your relationship with God, yourself, and others. You are equipped to uphold your own boundaries while also respecting those of others. With a full cup, you can now love fully, serve freely, and live with peace and purpose and contentment.

"Jodi coached me through a hard season of my life and I am forever thankful for her! Her words and demeanor are seasoned with so much grace. Through working with Jodi I was able to step back and better see what God was already doing in my life. It has led to me starting a new business (which seemed like a dream way too far out of reach before). She helped me recognize areas in my life that were in my control (and those that are out of my control) which were causing unnecessary barriers. She truly cares, genuinely listens, and challenges in such a loving way. She is such a blessing to have as a coach and mentor!" Kelsey Q.
