48. Criticism and the Christian

In this episode, we explore how Christians can faithfully and wisely respond to criticism. We distinguish between godly, constructive correction rooted in truth and criticism that is unhelpful, sinful, or distorted. Along the way, we consider how to evaluate the feedback we receive with discernment—learning not to dismiss valuable correction on one hand or be crushed by unfair critique on the other. The goal is to grow in humility and wisdom so that we can receive truth without being shaped by what is false.
