“So, did you hear about so-and-so?” “Yeah, I can’t believe it either.” You’ve been there before, haven’t you? When does a conversation become gossip, and what do we do when it makes that ugly turn? In this episode, Cameron tries to get some information out of Dr. J about somebody else. But, instead of some juicy gossip, it opens an honest conversation about how we guard our mouths, our ears, and our hearts.

10:31 — I question, at times, if I actually believe. What should I do?

15:27 — At what point does a conversation turn into gossip?

16:30 — If it’s just words, why is gossip such a big deal to God?

20:29 — When, then, is it appropriate to involve another person in the conversation?

24:43 — Why is gossip such a big issue within the church?

28:50 — How do I regain control of my mouth and stop gossiping?
