In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, Tina and Britt dive into Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7 about the speck and the plank. Through laughter, Scripture, and real-life metaphors, they explore why we must first deal with our own sin before we can effectively walk alongside others.

From pride that sneaks in through the back door, to the foggy lens of unconfessed sin, to the temptation of trying to help others while we’re still wrestling ourselves, this conversation is both convicting and encouraging. Tina and Britt remind us that only Jesus can heal, and that true freedom equips us to comfort others with the same comfort we’ve received.

They also highlight the importance of humility, honesty, and self‑evaluation, drawing from Romans 12, 1 John, and Galatians 6. With vivid imagery — from fogged mirrors to muddy goggles — they illustrate how unchecked sin clouds our vision and undermines our credibility. But when we pause, let Jesus do the inner work, and walk in freedom, we can gently and humbly help others back onto the right path.
