Those two things can coexist. Yeah, intention, intention, yeah, yeah, I don't have to be overly judgmental, and I think I guess you said it a minute ago, Austin, but I think maybe maybe one way to look at this, a healthy way to approach this, is not that nothing matters and we can all just go about whatever behaviors that we want, because obviously that's going to harm ourselves and harm others.
Ever pondered how judgment can be both a tool for good and a source of division? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the complex nature of judgment. They start by breaking down what judgment really means and how it can serve as a foundation for healing, structure, and safety. The conversation gets interesting as they discuss the redemptive side of judgment, drawing on the belief that God’s justice is about making things right.
But it’s not all about divine intervention; they also stress the importance of mutual respect and the pitfalls of unspoken expectations that can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Wes and Austin delve into the tricky balance between pointing out unhealthy behaviors and avoiding harsh criticism. They emphasize that judgment doesn’t have to be a hammer; it can be a gentle nudge towards betterment when paired with compassion. The key takeaway? Intention matters.
Judgment and compassion aren’t mutually exclusive; they can coexist to foster unity and understanding. If you’ve ever struggled with being too critical or felt judged yourself, this episode offers valuable insights on how to navigate these waters with grace.
