Few moments test your faith and your friendship like when someone you care about trusts you with something deeply personal. In this episode, we dig into John 1:14 and what it means that Jesus was “full of grace and truth”—not 50/50, but fully both at the same time. We explore why the moment someone comes out to you isn’t a theology test but a love test, and why leading with your convictions in that vulnerable moment often ends the conversation before it starts. Three experiments—the first response, the long obedience, and the posture check—help us become the kind of people who make grace and truth feel like they belong together.
