Episode 164 - "Someone Always Has Your Six"

Feel the Freedom of Truthfulness

What are your roadblocks to truthfulness, sincerity, and integrity? How do we hold onto both love and truth when talking to each other about important issues? And what does honesty have to do with Chris Paul, gas lines, and life guards? This week’s Scripture du Jour is Ephesians 4, a power-packed passage full of guidance in how to “speak the truth in love.” Taking a cue from Paul there, Bryan compares us to kids in a riptide, as we recognize both the dangers of deception and the security we find growing in Christ. We also spend time unpacking what Jesus Said in John 8:32, learning to abide in the truth and live free. It’s session 11 in the What’s Good guided study — all about honesty — and you can find all the goods to have these conversations with your own group at biblegeeks.fm/good.

The Big Idea: We love truthful words because they’re the language our God uses to speak to us.

This Week's Challenge: Notice someone's sincerity and acknowledge it.
