Perception vs Reality Part 3 Summary

In this episode, we explore how unchecked perception can quietly damage relationships and create unnecessary conflict. Many tensions are not rooted in verified truth, but in assumptions, misread motives, and emotional reactions that feel real but are not fully accurate. Scripture calls believers to slow down, seek clarity, and respond with discernment rather than react from feeling. While emotions do matter, they were never meant to govern our speech, conclusions, or decisions. This episode offers biblical guidance for separating feeling from fact, guarding unity, and allowing truth to shape our responses in moments of tension.
