Gossip.  Celebrated in our culture, condemned in the church, yet experienced in both.  If you've ever been on the receiving end of gossip, it stinks.  Majorly.  It's an easy trap to fall into, but the mess gossip creates can destroy relationships.  We wanted to take a look at gossip from a perspective of understanding WHY God asks us to avoid it, how the offense that triggers gossip can actually be reverse engineered to bring healing and freedom in your life,  how we can maintain a healthy balance of knowing when and how to speak about situations, and become someone who people can trust when they're not in the room.  That's a lot to cover, but it's a great episode and my guest Michaela Waters really brings the wisdom, so don't sleep on this episode!
