The Art of Godliness, Episode 7: Gossip

The Art of Godliness

There is not an individual or a church that has not been impacted at some time or in some way by gossip. The sad fact is that too much of the time we talk too much and about all the wrong things. In this episode of The Art of Godliness, Paul and I discuss the common, ugly, destructive sin of gossip. Give it a listen and see if you find it at all helpful or challenging! After all, the purpose of our podcast is to attempt to think out loud about how to lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. And few things are more undignified and less peaceful than gossiping about others!

    A Daily Diet of Doctrine

    A while back I realized I needed to brush up on some of these and began to organize a system of spaced repetition—a way to encounter these doctrines on a regular basis, thus reinforcing them and keeping them fresh in my mind. And it was right then…
