"Don't Be Bitter..."

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 02:06:50 GMT

In this episode, Bryan and Rebekah discuss the tendency for all Christians to judge people's hearts when they share true events with passion. Why we should fight bitterness and anger, but not assume that someone is bitter just because they share a frustration, or an injustice. Also why leaders should be curious, not judgmental.
