In this heart-to-heart episode of Strength In The Journey’s Podcast, we tackle one of the most misunderstood aspects of our faith: truth versus feelings. Is it truth that hurts your feelings, or is it your feelings that are shaping the truth? We dive into the  labels thrown at Christians and remind ourselves of the identity we hold in Christ. Spoiler alert: It's not defined by the names others call us!

You’ll hear how using scripture to expose sin is not about hate; it’s about saving lives. We even throw in a humorous Siri moment to remind us that sometimes the world’s understanding of truth can be hilariously misplaced…and a hot-mess like “Chili” at times.

So, if you’re feeling attacked, misunderstood, or simply uncertain of your identity in Christ, this episode is for you. We’ve got encouragement, scripture, and a whole lot of truth—delivered with love. Because when you love someone, you share the truth, even when it’s tough.
