Guardrails
Guardrails are designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or off-limit areas. They minimize damage by keeping us in the safety zone. But the highway isn’t the only place we need guardrails. Stepping away from what has the potential to harm you is stepping in the direction of the One who loves you. God isn’t trying to keep you away from something; he is drawing you toward someone—himself.

Friendships
Have you ever met someone that later you wish you’d never met? Is there a person you wish your husband, wife, son, or daughter had never met? Sometimes people are our greatest regrets because they influence us to ignore our guardrails and step into the danger zone.
Sexuality
We need personal guardrails so we don’t stray into areas of life that can harm us or the people we love. If there’s one area in which personal guardrails are most needed but also most resisted, it’s in our relationships. Let's talk about setting up guardrails to protect you from an area that is often loaded with regrets - Sexuality.
Guilt, Anger, Greed, Jealousy
What’s on the inside eventually shows up on the outside. That’s why it’s important to learn to guard our hearts and manage our emotions.
Finances
When you think about Jesus’ teaching on finances, how do you feel? Do you feel defensive? Do you think, “Oh good!” We all have some weird feelings about money, but today, we see that Jesus is GOOD NEWS...even for finances. The main thing is this: God wants something for you in your heart more than he wants something for your finances. Jesus's teaching helps us have life and freedom and joy no matter our financial situation. And that's good news.
