Have you ever caught yourself being a little… judgy? It's no secret—judgment is everywhere these days, even in the church. But aren't we also supposed to use good judgment?

It's tricky, right? Well today, you're going to get biblical clarity on how to use good judgment without being judgmental.

Shannon Popkin is back on the podcast to help you understand the difference between healthy discernment and being kinda judgy. You'll learn what Jesus actually meant in Matthew 7 when He said, "Judge not," how personal convictions can get in the way of judging rightly, and what it looks like to speak truth with compassion rather than condemnation.

Plus, since not every issue is black and white, Shannon shares some practical ways to keep humility and God's grace at the center of it all.
