We are currenly in the Friendship Series. Last week I asked you to draw a friendship timeline. That laid the foundation for looking at past and current friendships as well as noticing healthy and unhealthy themes in this area.
Speaking of unhealthy, let’s address one toxic trait that will bring every friendship crashing down- GOSSIP.
Scripture:
Proverbs 26:22 (MSG), "Listening to gossip is like eating cheap candy; do you want junk like that in your belly?"
Process:
Who do I need to stop gossiping about?
Is my main form of communication with friends gossip?
Challenge:
Be mindful of leading with gossip. When you are tempted to gossip, ask, "What do I really need in this moment?"
