Isn't It Amazing How Much We Overuse the Word 'Amazing'?

 Isn't it amazing how much we describe each other as amazing? In this video, I go over how I think that can be erring on the side of too much of a compliment, and the other extreme is just as bad. I also quote Jordan Peterson, to support how this can be a stumblingblock for us. Scripture verses I refer to include Ephesians 4:15-16 and Ephesians 4:25.  #amazing #everyoneisawesome #everyoneisamazing #hype #compliments #complimentingothers #realistic #realism #truthfulliving #tellingthetruth #honestfeedback 

What Makes Church Feel Safe and Healing? -- Ephesians 4:15-16

Image
 Do you speak the truth in love? Do the people in your church speak the truth in love? Do the leaders in your church speak the truth in love? How can we grow to be more like Jesus together? In this video, together we explore Ephesians 4:15-16, where the apostle Paul tells what the growing church is like. It's about speaking the truth in love and functioning together as the body of Christ! And this means that we have to make some deep adjustments in how we talk to each other and how we treat each other -- but we'll stop hurting and wounding each other, and help to build up and bring relational healing and safety to each other like Jesus intends for us. #churchhurt #spiritualabuse #spiritualhealing #spiritualhealth #bodyofchrist #churchleadership #churchleadership #churchfamily #edification #buildingeachotherup #buildingupeachother
