E126: Giving Correction Without Playing God


Listen Later

This is part four in the series Truth in Love: The Courage to Correct and Be Corrected.

Correction isn’t easy—and when we step into it, it’s tempting to slip into the role of “fixer,” as if it’s our job to make someone else change. But scripture reminds us that’s not our role. We are called to speak the truth in love, with gentleness and humility, while entrusting the outcome to God.

In this episode, Jill unpacks:

  • Why posture matters more than having the perfect words
  • The dangers of superiority, anger, shame, and control in correction
  • How humility and prayer prepare us to speak safely
  • Practical ways correction can happen—words, observations, questions, or boundaries
  • What it looks like to release the outcome and trust God with the growth

Correction isn’t about playing God—it’s about love that restores, truth that sets free, and trust in the One who changes hearts.
