In this episode of the Grace for the City podcast, Justin dives deep into the Biblical call for face-to-face communication to resolve misunderstandings and foster unity in relationships. Highlighting scriptures like 2 Timothy 3 and James 3, Justin addresses the growing trend of coldheartedness and selfish ambition in today’s society, where people increasingly rely on digital tools like text and email, often avoiding direct, in-person conversations. He warns that this avoidance, driven by pride or fear, risks escalating misunderstandings, eroding trust, and missing opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. Justin emphasizes the importance of prioritizing face-to-face dialogue to build stronger relational bonds, encouraging listeners to confront issues with humility and empathy, as exemplified by Christ, to maintain healthy connections within the body of believers.
