The last four episodes have covered a lot of ground in how to form a God-honoring response to current events, so we thought it would be wise to consolidate a month's worth of information into this one summary. (Click on each WEEK to listen to a more in-depth conversation from each week.)

WEEK 1 we were reminded that our number-one MO is to be people of love. It's what makes us stand apart as followers of Jesus. So if we are to be people of love, our words must be filtered through God's definition of love as explained in 1 Corinthians 13.

WEEK 2 we talked about how to respond, namely SLOWLY. The Bible says, "Be quick to listen, SLOW TO SPEAK, SLOW TO BECOME ANGRY."

WEEK 3 we began to define confirmation bias and how it clouds our ability to discern truth. This is a factor that we ALL need to be aware of and how it's affecting our subconscious. Not to miss!

Finally, in WEEK 4, we talked about how it's important to be able to discern the "facts" we are being given. First that means having our own definition of truth firmly founded on the Word of God; second, that means we are responsible for choosing the source of our information. We are not victims to what information people give us; we are responsible and capable discerners of Truth.
