Episode How Christians Fail at “Speaking the Truth in Love”
How do you correct someone without becoming self-righteous?
In this episode of Guestsplaining, Fr. Gregory welcomes Jordan Burke of the Avila Foundation and SpiritualDirection.com to discuss the challenge of fraternal correction. Together, they explore how humility, friendship, and personal conversion shape the way we speak truth to others—especially in an age of online outrage.
Whether you struggle to speak up or find yourself too quick to correct, their conversation will provide practical insights to help you navigate difficult conversation with both truth and charity.
