In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most quoted—and misunderstood—verses in the Bible: “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” What did Jesus really mean in Matthew 7:1? Is it a call to silence moral accountability, or is there more to the story? Join Jonathan as he explores the context, the confusion, and the cultural impact of this powerful passage.

We’ll talk about the difference between judgment and discernment, the danger of hypocrisy, and how to navigate truth and grace in today’s world. Whether you’ve used this verse in defense or heard it thrown at you, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and clarify what it truly means to “judge not.”
