Episode 34
When you hear someone who isn't quite right in what they say or do, what's the appropriate response? Should we roast them on social media? Fillet them and their mistakes in public? Start a whispering campaign intended to shut them up or drive them away? Or, perhaps, should we invite them over for dinner and to exchange ideas by hearing them out and then sharing our view and reasoning without judging them or requiring them to accept our point of view?
I can tell you which answers people generally choose to live out. But instead, let me tell you a short story about Paul and one about some of his companions.
