In this honest solo episode, Jill reflects on the swirl of “hot-button” conversations dominating social media and how quickly our zeal to be right can eclipse the call to love. She shares a recent DM exchange that forced her to pause, listen, and ask better questions, then reframes the whole moment with a time-tested guide: In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity. Jill walks through core Christian essentials (Jesus’ death and resurrection, salvation by grace through faith, Christ’s promised return), contrasts them with non-essentials (worship styles, baptism methods, women in ministry, young vs. old earth), and offers a practical filter for knowing when to lean in and when to lay it down. If you’re exhausted by online arguments but still want to share about Jesus with courage and kindness, this episode will help you lead with love without abandoning conviction.
