4 - Don't Hang Out With Sick People // How People Flourish LIVE with Chris + Prudence

A candid conversation about how spiritual sickness spreads—and how discernment, boundaries, and intimacy with Christ keep you healthy.

“You’re either influencing people or you’re being influenced by them—and pretending that’s not true is how people get spiritually sick.” - Chris

“Love absolutely has boundaries. Without them, you don’t have love—you have damage.” - Prudence

In this episode of How People Flourish, Chris and Prudence tackle a hard but essential truth: spiritual sickness is contagious. What we listen to, who we spend time with, and what we tolerate all shape our inner world—often more than we realize.

Through honest dialogue, live interaction, and real-life examples, they explore how spiritual sickness spreads through relationships, media, workplaces, family systems, and even churches. They unpack the tension between being salt and light without becoming poisoned by the darkness, clarifying the difference between influencing and being influenced.

This episode offers practical wisdom on setting healthy boundaries without becoming self-righteous, guarding your heart without withdrawing from people, and recognizing when love requires distance. Most importantly, it anchors everything in one central truth: intimacy with Christ is your spiritual immune system.

If you’ve ever felt drained, confused, conflicted, or burdened by relationships that seem to pull you away from peace and clarity—this conversation will give you language, permission, and direction to walk forward in health.
