47. Speaking the Truth to Someone You Love (Nancy Ortberg)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people don’t struggle with telling the truth…they struggle with how they say it.
In this episode, John and Nancy Ortberg unpack what it really means to:
“Speak the truth in love.”
Through two powerful real-life stories, they show how condemnation quietly grows:
- behind people’s backs
- inside groups
- and in our own hearts
And how it can be replaced with something better:
- honesty without attack
- truth without shame
- connection instead of division
Because the goal isn’t avoiding hard conversations…
It’s learning how to have them without condemnation.
