Hey guys, my name is Johnny Artivannis, and this is Dialin. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas

celebrating the birth of our Savior. In the new year, I'm going to be doing a short series on work,

laziness, idleness, rest, and Sabbath. And if there's any other topic you would like for me to cover,

please shoot us a message we would love to hear from you. In this episode I sit down with my friend Brianna Harris,

who is the dean of women at the Masters University, and I ask her about a respectable sin

that both men and women struggle with, that being gossip. Let's dial in.

Brewell, thank you for sitting down.

One of the things I wanted to talk to you about was the subject of gossip.

If we were going to pull out like a panoply of respectable sins, amongst those would for sure be gossip,

especially in a Christian environment,

because gossip is often disguised. And this is both a male and female reality. But speak to it.

How is just the topic of gossip, why it's deadly, why it's dangerous, how it's disguised,

and why it dishonors God.

Yeah, I think one, though, is we live in a world where nowadays, like, everybody's opinion needs to be heard and told, and social media, I think, has played a huge part in that.

And I think so now when we hang out with people, we're like, oh, I want to give my opinion

on this person's life and this person's life. And we all think it's fine. And like you said, it can be disguised and even caring for someone where you're like,

oh, I want you to pray for so-and-so because she's dealing with this thing.

It's like, that's-

Pray for Karen.

She's a mess.

And so I think that gets really easy.

And I remember talking to girls about venting. And it's like, it's okay if I vent, though, because I've got to get this off my chest
