Riverview Church PodcastCONVERSATIONS - Love Matters More w/ Jared ByasSo often, the Fight To Be Right is the very thing that keeps us from loving like Jesus.

Today we’re joined by Jared Byas as we discuss truth, love and black swans. Jared is a biblical scholar, author and co-host of the popular podcast, The Bible for Normal People.

Water with LemonLove Matters More with Jared Byas | Ep. 72Jared Byas joins me to discuss “speaking the truth in love” as Paul writes in Ephesians 4:15. He reminds us that telling the truth in love is not just giving our opinion and calling it truth, but rather earning people’s respect by bearing their burdens alongside them. Jared’s message is timely in a moment that seems partisan and divided. He reminds us to look up, that our hope is not found in agreements or the favor of man, but in Jesus’ return.

He says that when we use the phrase "speaking the truth in love" we use it as a weapon rather than something that is helpful. He argues that in order to reclaim this phrase that the emphasis needs to fall on the "in love" part.
