A Steadfast Heart: Overcoming a Critical Spirit

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series with a powerful look on overcoming a critical spirit towards others. When we are hosting a critical spirit, we cannot be emotionally healthy. A critical spirit is like a poison that slowly spreads, making us more and more emotionally toxic in our inner life. A critical spirit cannot co-exist with true joy, peace, gentleness, patience, and kindness. In this episode, Leslie explores biblical keys to avoiding a critical spirit and talks about how to handle weakness in others in a God-honoring way, and how this sets us up for both emotional and relational health.
