What does the Bible really say about gossip, bearing false witness, fear, anger, and other negative emotions?

Is it wrong to speak out against another believer? Is it sinful to feel mad?

Welcome to the Roy's Report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church.

I'm Julie Roy's. And joining me today is a repeat guest to this program, prolific author Rebecca Davis.

Rebecca has joined me in the past to discuss the first two books in her series,

untwisting the scriptures that were used to tie you up, gag you, and tangle your mind.

The first of our podcast dealt with patriarchy and

scriptures used to enable abuse. And if you've missed those, I highly recommend you go back and

listen to them. They're truly eye-opening, and you may discover that the Bible doesn't say what

you've been told, it says. But today, I'm so excited to explore Rebecca's third book in her

Untwisting the scripture series.

This one deals with your words and your emotions. For example, is it biblical to just keep

quiet if someone offends you? Is it gossip to simply share negative information? And what is it

okay to be angry? And is empathy a sin? We'll delve into all those questions in a minute, but first,
