Living for Jesus in an increasingly hostile culture can leave Christians feeling bitter and defensive. But what if we're missing something crucial about how we're called to engage the lost world?
In this episode, we walk through Titus 3 and unpack three essential truths for staying tender-hearted toward unbelievers:
1️⃣ Remember who you were before Christ (vv. 1-3)
2️⃣ Remember what God has done (vv. 4-7)
3️⃣ Remember your calling (v. 8)
We discuss navigating a post-Christian America, the danger of confusing the mission field with your enemy, and why evangelistic engagement is the antidote to growing callous toward the lost.

🗣️ Four Reasons God Gave Us the Tongue: 1. To speak the truth (Ephesians 4:15, 25) 2. To build others up through edifying words (Ephesians 4:29) 3. To demonstrate tenderhearted kindness (Ephesians 4:32) 4. To praise and glorify God (Psalm 63:3)
Key Takeaways:
A commitment to honesty is the backbone of Christian speech
Every word should build up, never simply to harm
Our speech should always be gracious and "seasoned with salt" (Colossians 4:6)
What comes out of our mouths reflects what's in our hearts
We can't transform our tongues without God transforming our hearts Practical

Applications: • Be quick to hear, slow to speak (James 1:19) • Pray Scripture over your speech (Psalm 19:14, Psalm 141:3) • Speak according to the need of the moment • Let your words give grace to those who hear
