Oftentimes criticism can leave believers wounded and confused; but in today’s podcast we see three principles for believers about criticism. In this episode, Emma Dotter and Lucina Thompson walk us through 2 Samuel 16-17, teaching that leadership matters, how you give criticism matters and how to respond to criticism matters. 
 
 Scripture referenced in today’s episode:
 James 3:10, “Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing.”

 Proverbs 27:6, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.”
