How to Judge Others | Power and the Plank Pt. 2

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of self-examination before judging others, emphasizing humility and discernment.

Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 cut straight to the heart of our tendency to judge others while ignoring our own brokenness. Before we speak into someone else’s life, we are called to examine ourselves. This message challenges the culture of criticism and outrage by calling us to personal responsibility, humility, and discernment—learning when to speak, when to stay silent, and how to correct others with wisdom and grace only after dealing with our own “plank.”
