About this listen
Your life's calling is too important to let toxic people take it away. When to Walk Away draws from biblical and modern stories to equip you to handle toxic people in your life and live true to your God-given purpose.
As Christians, we often feel the guilt and responsibility of meeting the needs of unhealthy people in our lives. Whether a sibling, parent, spouse, coworker, or friend, toxic people frequently seek to frustrate our life's calling. While you're seeking first God's kingdom, they're seeking first to distract your focus and delay your work. Instead of attempting the impossible task of mollifying toxic people, it's time we dedicate our energy to the only worthwhile effort: completing the work God has given us by investing in reliable people. It's only when we learn to say no to bad patterns that we can say yes to the good work God has planned for us.
Drawing from years serving as a pastor, Gary Thomas (best-selling author of Sacred Marriage) looks at biblical examples from the lives of Jesus, Paul, and Nehemiah to give you insightful, biblical includes insightful takeaways that you can apply right away. You'll discover how to:
- Learn the difference between difficult people and toxic people
- Find refuge in God when you feel under attack
- Discern when to walk away from a toxic situation
- Keep a tender heart even in unhealthy relationships
- Grow your inner strength and invest in reliable people
We can't let others steal our joy or our mission. It's time to strengthen our defense, learn to set healthy boundaries, and focus on our God-given purpose. It's time to know When to Walk Away.

Must-read to learn to focus on important things, and people
Especially every Christian should read this, so the church can serve God first in life, and not be kept busy with distracting unhealthy relationships. G.T. gives practical advice on how to deal, without leaving, difficult relationships. I love how he differentiates difficult from toxic relationships and does really not suggest to leave any easily. Instead, he emphasizes the importance to well examine oneself for necessary improvement in character.

Absolutely LOVED this book.
Such good truths about freedom to pursue the purpose God has given us and walk away from those to steal our energy away from this.

Freeing!
I needed to listen to this 8 years in the thick of toxic relationships. But better late than never. It was freeing to learn that I was not crazy, and that everything I saw in that woman in my life, was in fact toxic, and I have a solid reason to not allow her in my life again.

Fantastic book!
Highly recommend! It's Christian based as you should be able.to tell by the cover. However, even if you are not a Christian there's still loads of helpful info. I was able to see where I'm toxic in areas I never noticed before, as well as seeing where others have been toxic to me as well.

Fantastic, I needed this.
This is teaching I have never been exposed to and it is so valuable. Loved looking at Jesus from a different angle.

Fantastic!!
I love that he provided specific topics for marriage and parental relationships. The marriage example seemed as though that man was abusive towards his wife and the aim was that the wife wasn’t coming around “fast enough” but eventually did. I do not agree with how that was spoken about for an example. I’m glad that man got better but his wife deserved much more grace than the story led on. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I liked how it was biblically backed with scripture.

Highly recommended!
I'm so glad I listened to this book, and I would highly recommend it for anyone! It helped me recognize toxicity in my own reactions to others, and gave me tools for dealing with people who seem to drain my energy and time.

Too Religious
Too many references to the bible. Completely off topic of title. Very misleading. Lost interest for this reason.
