286. Why Are Christians So Judgmental // What Is Love? (Part 3) // Matthew 7:1-2 // Josiah Bogue

If Christianity is supposed to be about love... why do so many Christians seem so judgmental?
It's one of the biggest reasons people walk away from faith. But what if Jesus had just as much of a problem with judgmental religion as we do?
In this episode, Josiah explores one of Jesus' most famous and misunderstood teachings: "Do not judge." This isn't a conversation about ignoring evil or pretending everyone is right. It's about why we're so quick to define people by their worst moments while hoping everyone else understands ours. Why hypocrisy is so easy to spot in other people but so hard to see in ourselves. And why the people who understand God's forgiveness the most become the least judgmental people in the room.
Whether you've been hurt by Christians, burned by religion, or caught yourself becoming the kind of person you never wanted to be, this conversation offers a different way to see both yourself and the people around you. Because maybe the opposite of judgment isn't pretending sin doesn't matter. Maybe it's remembering how deeply we've all been loved first.
