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.

Jared 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.
