In today's episode, we discuss two verses from James 4 that warn against gossip, secret meetings, and judgement of brothers and sisters in Christ:
Jenn shares personal experiences and biblical examples to illustrate how gossip can be detrimental to the church.
Judgement is not about calling out sin, but rather speaking against others to manipulate or destroy their reputation. 
The difference between judging and discerning - examples from James 4:11-12, Romans 14, and 1 Corinthians 5. 
As Christians, we're not to abandon the church, but follow the law of love and encourage a thriving, God-honoring church.
Jenn encourages listeners to be mindful of their words and actions, and to take the time to get both sides of the story in order to discern the truth.

If you're interested in learning more about how to navigate difficult situations like gossip in the church and how to treat others with love and respect, tune in to this episode for insightful discussion on judgement and love.
