Gossiping and judging others may seem inconsequential in the moment, but these actions can have a profound impact on our spiritual life.
Not only can this cause us to fall into greater sins, but it also does not allow us to love our neighbour as Jesus Christ calls Christians to do.
In this episode, Katherine reviews the Orthodox Christian view on judgment and gossip and provides evidence from the Bible as well as teachings from the Church Fathers.
She also provides actionable steps to take to avoid gossip and judgment in the future.
