Hello everyone, it's Adam. Before launching into this episode, I want to invite you to two upcoming conferences.

The first is the Sexual Attachment Conference, which will be held via Zoom on May 5th to 6th, 2023.

The purpose of this conference is to help you understand how your present sexual struggles

are directly related to your past family of origin story.

And the second conference will be held a week later on Saturday, May 13th,

and it is designed to teach you the art and science of engaging another person's story.

You can sign up for either of these virtual conferences at adamyoungcounseling.com.

The premise of the objection is simply it's wrong for me to judge my parents. That's God's job,

not my job. So let's look at what Jesus says about judging people because it may surprise you.
