My Authentic You

In this session, Pastor Stacy and Renee wrap up their discussion on gossip, judgments, sarcasm and criticism by asking what's really going on when we relate to others in these harmful ways? How do we move beyond trying to modify our behavior and instead get to transforming the heart?

Pastor Stacy and Renee continue part 3 of their discussion of Proverbs 18:21, "The tongue has the power of life and death..." Sarcasm and criticism are painful to those on the receiving end of it, so why are they dismissed under the guise of humor (sarcasm) or discernment (criticism)? And what does their use indicates about the speaker?

In this session, Pastor Stacy and Renee continue their discussion of Proverbs 18:21, "The tongue has the power of life and death..." The destructive power of judging others can't be overstated, but many of us unconsciously level judgments in a steady stream. Why does it matter? Are there clues in our language that let us know we are judging someone (or ourselves!)? How can we release the stranglehold judging has on our relationships and on our own heart?

In this session, Pastor Stacy and Renee take a deep dive into Proverbs 11:13. Are we self-aware enough to recognize if we are trustworthy?

In this episode, Pastor Stacy and Renee talk about deconstructing one's faith: Is it really ok to ask questions? Does it always have to mean de-converting?
