THE UNBREAKABLE BOY Bible Reading Planਨਮੂਨਾ

In THE UNBREAKABLE BOY, Austin’s mom Teresa faces the difficult task of balancing love and truth. As Scott continues to make poor decisions, she is forced to speak up. She sets clear boundaries, choosing honesty over avoidance, and understands that in order to help Scott, she must first protect herself and their children. This doesn't make her less loving or less committed; in fact, it demonstrates a profound strength and wisdom.

Teresa admits when confronting Scott that she has been silent for too long. When he asks her why, she says, “Maybe it’s because I haven’t had the guts—because I’ve already been divorced twice, and I have two kids, and I’m afraid that I don’t have options, that I don’t deserve options.“

God doesn’t require perfection to work through us. He uses people who are honest about their weaknesses, and who choose to step up and speak truth, even when it’s hard or scary. God's grace shines through in these moments. He doesn’t expect us to have it all together before He can use us—He works through our weakness to display His power and strength.

God uses Teresa’s honesty and courage as a catalyst for change in Scott’s life. By standing firm in her convictions and trusting God with the outcome, Teresa creates space for Scott to confront his struggles and begin his own journey of growth and healing. While we don’t set boundaries to change others, God uses our faithfulness and obedience in ways we could never anticipate.

Setting boundaries can be difficult, but it is often in moments of vulnerability and honesty that God’s grace is most evident. His power is made perfect through our struggles. Just like Teresa, we can stand firm, trusting that God will work through us and use us for His purpose.

• How can you lean into God’s grace and strength when confronting someone with a hard truth?
• Have you ever felt that God was using your weakness for His purpose? How did that look in your life?
• What boundaries do you need to set in your own life, while still offering grace to others?
