About this listen

Ever had to say something hard to someone you care about? Maybe it was a mate making poor choices. Or a colleague not pulling their weight. Or even a tough moment in your own family.

These conversations are never simple. If we lean too hard on truth, our words can come across as harsh. If we lean only on love, we risk avoiding honesty altogether. Either way, we miss the balance.

In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, we’re unpacking what it means to speak the truth in love — the way the Bible describes it in Ephesians 4:15.

Here’s what we’ll explore together:

  • Why truth without love can crush, and love without truth can hide
  • How Jesus held both together — never letting go of truth, never letting go of love
  • Practical steps to help us bring balance in our own conversations
  • A fresh look at how our words can heal instead of harm

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to be both honest and kind, this episode is for you.

Please take a few minutes with me today, and let’s explore how to convey both courage and compassion through our words.
