Summary

Are Christians required to reach out to an author/speaker/pastor privately before criticizing their comments publicly? Sometimes when we bring up a current book or author to help our audience discern the ideas being taught by reasoning through whether or not they are true and reflect a biblical worldview, we receive comments like, “Hey, did you reach out to this person privately before calling them out publicly?” or “You should have that person on your show so they can explain their view before you criticize them.” Often, commenters will bring up Matthew 18:15 which tells Christians to go to someone directly if they have sinned against you. But is this what Matthew 18:15 is really teaching? Should we prioritize unity at all costs?He Gets Us, But Di We Get Him?

0:35.4	That's what we're going to be talking about today.
0:37.2	So sometimes on this podcast and on our individual podcasts, Natasha and I might bring up a current book or an author to help our
0:44.6	audience discern the ideas being taught by reasoning through whether or not they
0:48.5	are true and reflect a biblical worldview. Often we both receive comments that ask things like, hey, did you reach
0:55.1	out to this person privately before you called them out publicly or hey you
0:59.9	should have that person on your show so they can explain their view before you
1:03.6	criticize them. Often commenters will bring up Matthew 1815 which tells
1:08.3	Christians to go to someone directly if they've sinned against you. We're going to
1:11.7	get into all of that in a moment but first
1:13.9	Natasha is going to let you know about some stuff coming up and our tips of the week.
