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 Trip to Southern Africa

    I don’t often write trip reports after I travel, except, of course, in the form of books and documentary projects like Epic and From the Rising of the Sun. Yet, I thought I would make a rare exception after returning from my recent journey to Southern Africa (and, strangely, Northern California). While I am accustomed…
