Episode 59: Called In, Not Called Out | Practicing Grace in a Culture of Judgment
What does it mean to love someone you disagree with? In a world of cancel culture, judgment, and digital takedowns, how do we follow Jesus into grace—not silence, not outrage, but grace?
In this timely episode of the Light + Life Podcast, Liza and Pastor Tim talk about cancel culture, healthy conflict, spiritual maturity, and how the church can become a community where hard conversations lead to growth—not division.
You’ll hear honest reflections on:
- Why grace feels risky but is always worth it
- How to speak the truth in love (without weaponizing it)
- The danger of confusing comfort with safety
- Why disagreement can be raw material for discipleship
- How Jesus called people in, not just out
- What Christian conflict done well actually looks like
From attachment styles to self-defense spirals, from pastoral leadership to personal transformation, this conversation holds nothing back—and calls us to do the same.
📍 This week’s invitation:
✅ Pray about one person you’re tempted to “cancel”
✅ Ask God to help you love them with both grace and truth
✅ Reflect on what it’s like to be on the other side of you
✅ Show up with an open posture and leave room for growth
Because Jesus meets us in our mess—and calls us to do the same for others.
