Descripción

"Judge not, lest you be judged." It's one of Jesus's most quoted teachings—and most misquoted. Many believe Jesus commanded His followers to abandon all judgment. But He didn't. Not even close. In Matthew 7:1–6, Jesus isn’t forbidding wise judgment. He condemns hypocrisy—the arrogance of criticizing others while ignoring your own failures. His vivid image of a speck and a log isn't about staying silent; it’s about self-awareness before offering correction. When we approach others, Jesus calls us to three key principles: humility (acknowledge your own flaws first), mercy (judge with the same grace you've received), and discernment (correct lovingly, never with condemnation). The main point? Jesus didn't say "never judge." He said, "Judge yourself first, then extend grace." Join Jason, and learn how to honestly judge yourself and others as Jesus intended us to do.

E6 | Lot Offered His Daughters… and Was Called Righteous? (Genesis 19:1-11)

How can a man who offered his own daughters to a violent mob be called “righteous” in the Bible? In this episode, we take an honest look at a disturbing account in Scripture—Genesis 19:1–11—and wrestle with the tension surrounding Lot. While the Old Testament reveals his deeply troubling choices, the New Testament describes him as a righteous man tormented by the evil around him. So what are we supposed to make of that? Join Jason as he explores Lot’s life, the slow drift into compromise, the devastating impact on his family, and ultimately, what his story reveals about sin, spiritual conflict, and the mercy of God. It would really mean a lot if you shared this episode with your friends!
