What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Judge not”? In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we take a deeper look at righteous judgment — the kind of judging Jesus does call us to do, but with humility, clarity, and a heart aligned with God.

We break down Matthew 7:1–5, explore Paul’s teachings on gentle correction, and talk honestly about why Christians don’t need to be perfect to speak truth. I also share a personal testimony about repairing a strained family relationship and how God used it to teach me about timing, self-examination, and the freedom that comes from genuine repentance.

You’ll learn:

✨ What righteous judgment actually is

✨ Why self-examination comes *before* correcting others

✨ How to judge without hypocrisy

✨ Why timing, tone, and motive matter when correcting someone (including a real example of addressing something privately with a couple)

✨ How judging rightly helps restore people — not shame them

This episode will challenge you, free you, and equip you to handle correction the way Jesus intended: with truth, love, and spiritual clarity.

In this episode of Kingdom Housewives, we’re tackling one of the most quoted — and most misunderstood — teachings in the Bible: “Judge not, that you be not judged.” What did Jesus really mean? Are Christians supposed to avoid judging altogether, or is there a difference between judgment and loving correction?

Join me as we walk through Matthew 7, dive into the context behind Jesus’ words, and look at what Scripture says about humility, accountability, and restoring one another gently. I also share a personal testimony about how God used a difficult relationship in my own life to teach me the real meaning of checking your heart before you correct someone else.

We’ll explore passages like Proverbs 27:17, Galatians 6:1, and Ephesians 4:15 to understand the balance between truth and love — and how we, as Christ followers, can correct without condemning.

Grab your Bible and come ready for a challenging but freeing conversation on what it truly means to judge righteously.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into what it really means to seek godly counsel and why it matters whose advice you allow to shape your life. We look at the story in 1 Kings where Rehoboam chooses the wrong voices and suffers the consequences, showing us the importance of wisdom, humility, and discernment.

We also break down key scriptures on trusting God’s guidance and surrounding ourselves with wise, godly people:

* **Proverbs 3:5-6— Trust in the Lord with all your heart

* **James 1:5 — Ask God for wisdom, who gives generously

* **Proverbs 11:14 — In the abundance of counselors there is safety

Join me as we talk about how to recognize godly advice, how to avoid foolish counsel, and how a Christ-centered support system helps us walk in wisdom and purpose.
