Hi, I'm Jodi Hemann, Discipleship Coach.

I help Christian women honor Biblical boundaries

with God, themselves and others

so they can experience peace, joy and contentment

while prioritizing their Kingdom Calling.

 

Honoring boundaries is honest, loving and kind. 

Definition of Boundaries

Boundaries are the personal limits we establish 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 to prioritize time with the Father and 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 Boundaries are 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-centered 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.

Four Steps to Honoring Boundaries

STEP 1

Identify the Struggle

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

Establish Your Limits

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, 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

Maintain Consistency

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

Honor Boundaries

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 serve from a place of abundance rather than depletion.

"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.
