Why are Christians so judgy? Why do some churches feel more like courtrooms than communities? Why does religion sometimes amplify shame instead of offering healing?

In this episode, we take a fresh look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:1–12, “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.” But instead of pulling that verse out as a soundbite, we explore the deeper kingdom vision behind it. Jesus wasn’t banning discernment, He was calling us to humility, mercy, and transformation.

What if the church was known more for grace than judgment? What if Christians led with compassion rather than condemnation?

Join us as we walk through the words of Jesus, not to shame the church, but to rediscover the radical, mercy-shaped life He invites us into.
