When people are coming to Christ, there has to be a different way you treat them. You can’t talk to people any type of way and then expect them to want to draw closer to God. Too often, I see folks who claim they’re “speaking truth,” but what they’re really doing is tearing people down. You can’t plant a seed in bad soil. If your tone is judgmental and your words are sharp, that’s not love — that’s pride wrapped up in religion. Everyone’s walk looks different. Some people are still learning, some are still struggling, and that’s okay. God never called us to be perfect before we came to Him. He just said, “Come.” But when someone finally builds up the courage to take that step, the last thing they need is to be made to feel less than. That kind of treatment pushes people away from the very grace they’re seeking. This is exactly why I decided to do this audio — because people need to hear this message. You can’t represent Christ if your spirit doesn’t match His heart. Christ met people where they were. He spoke with love, with patience, with understanding. And if we call ourselves His followers, that’s the example we’re supposed to follow too
