Being reproved or rebuked is tough stuff. Nobody enjoys it. To be willing to have others speak into your life is one of the high marks of Christian maturity.

Rebuke-able people typically have humble and wise perspectives about themselves. They are rebuke-able because they have been rightly informed by the Gospel. (See Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:12; Isaiah 64:6; 1Timothy 1:15). In this podcast I give you six questions to examine your Christian maturity.
