Hatefulness has become the language of the day and even worse, it plays out in our actions with others. Particularly if they look, think or act differently than I do. Today we talk about the uncomfortable things going on in our society as a result of not viewing one another first, as image bearers of God.   We hope this episode, while hard to hear at times, might just help you to check your heart and make sure you are treating others with dignity and respect. To treat others how you want to be treated.     SHOW NOTES   • Don’t judge a book by its cover.   • We have to get past seeing people with a label first.   • Symptoms of hate include: racism, sexism, tribalism.   - Tribalism even exists within the Church. We have to stop tearing one another apart and hurting the name of Christ.   • There is power in the Imago Dei - because they are created in the image of God, they are valuable!   • Ask, “are there sinful narratives and privileges I have been born into that now inform how I see others?” If so, repent, ask for God’s discernment in how to view people without hate or fear attached.   • BE KIND. Treat everyone you meet with kindness! It takes effort and intentionality.   • Listen to other’s experiences to learn what you do not know. This requires humility and often, repentance. But without it, we will not empathize with one another and enter into other’s sufferings the way Christ did for us.     What We Are Loving: Daniel - Righteous Wretch apparel.   Heather - Made For This podcast with Jennie Allen, episode 4.
