211 The Truth About Judgment: From Tolerance to Truth
For years, I believed judgment was unkind, unloving, and something “spiritual” people avoided. The New Age and New Thought taught me that tolerance was the highest virtue—that everyone should be free to “live their truth” without interference.
But then I discovered what the Bible actually says about judgment—and it’s not what the world teaches.
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we unpack the difference between judgment, condemnation, and loving accountability within the Body of Christ. We’ll talk about why Jesus never meant “stay silent” when He said “Judge not,” how to discern truth from falsehood without falling into pride, and why speaking truth in love could be the most caring thing you ever do.
You’ll also hear an important clarification: believers are called to lovingly hold fellow believers accountable—not to condemn unbelievers who don’t yet follow Christ.
In this episode you'll discover:
- What Jesus really meant when He said “Judge not” and how it applies to your life today
- The Biblical difference between judgment, condemnation, and discernment
- Why holding fellow believers accountable is an act of love, not hate
- The eternal cost of staying silent when someone you love is living in deception
If you’ve ever wrestled with when to speak up, how to do it without pride, or whether silence is the right choice—this episode will give you the Biblical clarity and courage you need.
