Speak the Truth [Video Download]

In this six-session video Bible study, bestselling author Gary Thomas draws on Jesus’ example to show how the best course of action for us to take with some relationships is to walk away . . . or let the other person walk away. In the Gospels, we read that when Jesus spoke a hard truth, sometimes the other person chose to walk away. Other times, the person asked Jesus to leave–and he complied. There were also times when people begged Jesus to stay, but he walked away so he could remain completely focused on the mission God had for him. In this video download of session 5, “Speak the Truth,” you will see how by labelling toxic people in your life is like seeing warning signs posted along the path of God’s mission for you. This video can be used for personal reflection or for group discussion with the coordinating study guide (sold separately).
