Gossip is often dismissed as something normal or harmless, yet if you’ve been engaged in receiving or delivering gossip you know how hurtful it can be. In this conversation with Doreen Virtue, Amy Spreeman and Michelle Lesley of “A Word Fitly Spoken” podcast examine gossip through the lens of Scripture.
In this discussion, we define what gossip actually is, and how it differs from slander, so you can discern what honors the Lord in your conversations.
We also address what God’s Word says about the use of our words, and why this issue matters for every believer. Whether you’ve struggled with gossip, been hurt by it, or want to grow in wisdom and discernment, this conversation can help you to think more carefully about how you speak about others and how to manage situations that involve gossip.
We address honest questions many Christian women have: are women more prone to gossip than men, or is that a cultural assumption? What should you do when someone gossips about you? And how do you navigate social settings, friendships, or workplace conversations where gossip is common and often expected?
We also discuss whether Christians should engage with celebrity gossip, even if it seems harmless or entertaining. This discussion may be convicting, and yet the intent is for all of us too grow in love, learn more about God, and honor Christ in the way we speak.
