Why Talking About Someone Hurts Everyone Involved
🎙 Straightway Through with Gina — Helping you speak with clarity, courage, and connection.
Episode Summary:
Talking about someone behind their back is one of the most socially accepted behaviors — and one of the most quietly destructive.
In this episode, I talk about how this behavior affects all three parties involved: the one speaking, the one listening, and the one being spoken about.
I share real-life examples of how and why it corrodes trust, clarity, and integrity — even when it’s framed as “venting,” “processing,” or concern.
I talk about why it’s so normalized, why people often talk more when you ask them to stop, and how we’re called to respond without participating — no matter how tempting it is.
I also read and reflect on 17 Bible verses that speak directly to this behavior, and invite us to look honestly at the places where we may still be doing it — and how to clean those places up with care.
This isn’t about condemnation.
It’s about discernment, courage, and choosing a better way.
