Get the full episode here: 7 Steps for Speaking Truth with Love for Healthy Relationships
Have you ever struggled to speak your truth while maintaining love at the heart of your interactions? This soul-stirring episode tackles the challenging yet transformative journey of authentic self-expression through a faith lens.
Today I finally got up the nerve to share my personal story of being called to ministry while wrestling with feelings of inadequacy as a woman... LOL. Like Moses before the burning bush, I questioned my suitability based on societal expectations. Through scriptural study and divine guidance, I discovered that God's call transcends human limitations, drawing wisdom from biblical women like Deborah, Esther, and Priscilla who were pivotal in God's plan.
Drawing from Jesus' arrest in Gethsemane (John 18:1-11), we explore three essential components for speaking truth with love that can revolutionize your interactions: emotional expression, assertiveness, and independence. When Jesus boldly declared "I Am He" to his arresters while remaining surrendered to the Father's will, he modeled perfect truth-speaking. His example teaches us that expressing emotions honestly, standing firm in convictions, and embracing our authentic identity in Christ creates space for powerful, loving communication.
This episode offers more than theoretical concepts—it provides practical application through a weekly challenge to practice truth-speaking in your own life. By journaling your experience, you'll deepen your understanding of how God works through authentic expression. Whether you're navigating workplace challenges, relationship dynamics, or ministry callings, these principles will equip you to honor both truth and love in every conversation.
