First up today, let's go to Sam, who's calling in from Nebraska. Sam, what's your question for Adrial?

Hi. I just had a question. How can I encourage a brother in Christ who is discouraged by other

Christians who don't live what they preach?

Hmm.

Hey, Sam, that is, I mean, obviously something that's super discouraging and disheartening

when we encounter other believers who are not walking

in line with what they profess and of course i mean each of us we got to examine our own hearts too

where is there a contradiction or discrepancy in my own life. So it's really a call for repentance internally.

But additionally, you know, when we look out and we see other Christians who aren't living in line

with the teachings of scripture, it can be very discouraging.

And especially if it's happening in your church.

And especially if it's leadership, if it's people who should be examples to the rest of the flock,

that really has a just a terrible effect on those who are there and sitting under that.

And so in terms of encouragements, the one thing I think you could say is that that that pain that you feel, that frustration,

hey, that's God honoring.
