In this episode, we explore how assumptions and unfair judgments create tension in our communities—especially between generations, cultures, and social groups. Looking at Jesus' interactions with those who were wrongly judged, we learn powerful lessons about mercy, compassion, and the power of seeing people beyond their past mistakes.
Jesus didn’t condemn—He restored. Whether it was the woman caught in adultery, the Samaritan woman at the well, or Zacchaeus the tax collector, He offered love and a path to transformation. His example challenges us to replace judgment with grace, to advocate for the misunderstood, and to build bridges where there are divides.
Join us as we discuss how we can apply these lessons in our daily lives, creating communities rooted in love, understanding, and true justice. Let’s learn to see people as God sees them—worthy of redemption and grace.Take a listen
This is the second session of spiritual assumptions! Take a listen
Spiritual assumptions are deeply ingrained beliefs or frameworks through which individuals interpret their experiences and understand the world around them. These assumptions often guide one's perspective on life, existence, and the nature of the divine, shaping how one perceives morality, purpose, and the interconnectedness of all things. They can be influenced by cultural, religious, and personal experiences While spiritual assumptions can offer comfort and meaning, they may also limit or challenge personal growth if not examined critically.

Financial assumptions in marriage or relationships can be a significant source of tension if not openly discussed. Partners often bring different financial backgrounds, expectations, and habits into a relationship. Assumptions about how money should be managed—such as whether expenses should be shared equally, how savings should be handled, or who is responsible for specific financial decisions—can lead to misunderstandings. Open communication about finances, setting shared goals, and agreeing on budgeting strategies are key to maintaining financial harmony and avoiding conflicts down the road. It’s essential for couples to align on their financial priorities and ensure transparency in managing their money together. Take a listen!
When we assume our partner understands us without communication, or that they share the same feelings we do, we skip the crucial steps of connection. The problem? Assumptions breed misunderstandings, frustration, and distance. Without open conversations, assumptions can lead to unmet needs and growing resentment.
