The Wisdom of Saying No | Providence Podcast

Is it possible to be generous without taking responsibility for everyone else? And can saying no sometimes be an act of love?

In this reflection on the ten bridesmaids in Matthew's Gospel, we take another look at the five women who refused to share their oil. Maybe they weren't being selfish after all. Maybe they understood something about boundaries, responsibility, and knowing what is ours to carry.

With a little Group Project Hell, some wisdom from Brené Brown and Roshi Joan Halifax, and a reminder that we don't have to be everything for everyone, we'll explore how to care for others without abandoning ourselves.

We're called to be generous, but we're also called to keep our own lights burning. And we don't have to do it all alone.

A reflection on faith, healthy boundaries, generosity, and being attentive to God's presence.
