Summary
Faith and favoritism can’t coexist. In this honest and hope-filled episode of our Bible Babes Bible study, Jess and our girl Anna Victorson unpack James 2:1-13, exploring how subtle bias creeps into our lives and why mercy is the better way.
With a powerful story from women’s ministry and some real-life heart checks, this episode invites you to live out God’s upside-down kingdom in the small, everyday moments.
Let’s go.
