103_ Barbed Words vs. Bruises: Which Scar Lasts Longer?

About this episode

The episode discusses the lasting impact of cruel words on identity and self-perception, particularly from a spiritual perspective.

People can say the most cruel words to us.  And try as we might to dismiss them, some of those words land deep and get imbedded into our sense of who we are and how we ought to live as a result.In today's episode we touch on the issue of identity as we consider the impact of critical, judgmental and harsh words spoke to us, the typical counsel of parents and friends, the first question most counselors as they seek to help us, and lastly, what is the better question to ask if you are a follower of Jesus. Today's discussion is timely and needful for each one of us.
