Not Judging Others: From Criticism to Compassionate Discernment


Listen Later

We all slip into quick takes and sharp opinions—especially with family, church, and friends. In this deep-dive conversation, we explore why a critical spirit shows up, how it harms relationships, and how to move toward grace-filled, truth-honoring discernment. We unpack everyday triggers (money/time choices, personality differences), the psychology behind snap judgments, and practical skills for gentle correction without compromising convictions. You’ll leave with simple tools to slow down, listen well, and respond with humility, clarity, and love.

You’ll learn:

  • What fuels judgmental reactions—and how to interrupt them
  • A framework to tell preferences from principles
  • Gentle, biblical ways to address real issues without shaming

Prepared through a deep research process using NotebookLM and Grok 4, alongside prayerful reflection.
