In this episode, Danny and Kimberly unpack the powerful difference between grace and rescuing. Grace means loving with truth—while rescuing means taking responsibility for someone else’s growth. Together they explore what happens when our motivation shifts from love and empathy to fear and control, and how that small shift can quietly lead to resentment and burnout.


They’ll walk through “The Grace With Boundaries Model,” contrasting the heart behind grace versus rescuing, and share practical tools for discerning your own motivations. You’ll learn to ask key questions like:

  • Am I doing this out of love or fear?
  • Am I taking responsibility for something that isn’t mine?
  • Does this act honor both of us equally?

Grace says, “I love you enough to tell the truth and let you grow.”

Rescuing says, “I can’t handle seeing you fail, so I’ll do it for you.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to love others deeply—without losing your boundaries in the process.
