Kaitlyn and Heather discuss how we can respond to insults and negativity from others. We may even receive backlash for our faith. A verse to keep in mind comes from John 15:18 where Jesus says: "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first."
How people treat us matters. We have the right to stand up for ourselves if we're being treated unfairly. God wants us to live free from the bondages of anxiety and hurt. Galatians 5:1 says, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
