Episode 177: When Did We Become So Easily Offended? | Standing for What’s Right Without Being Outraged by Everything

Maybe the problem isn't that we're too easily offended. Maybe we're offended by the wrong things.Nearly 30 years ago, I held a door open for a man and respectfully called him “sir.” His response stunned me: “Don't you call me sir! I can open the door for myself!”I learned that day that what one person intends as respect, another can receive as an insult.But today I'm asking a bigger question: Have we become more sensitive without becoming more discerning?Jesus wasn't afraid to get angry when something sacred was being dishonored. He overturned tables in the Temple. Scripture tells us to be slow to anger, but it also calls us to speak truth in love and stand for what is right.So how do we know the difference between something that's merely different, something that personally offends us, and something that's actually wrong?In Episode 177, we explore culture, faith, leadership, Europe, Kilimanjaro, and why Christians shouldn't waste their outrage on every disagreement—or become so afraid of offending someone that we stop standing for truth.Not everything that offends me is wrong. And not everything that's wrong offends me enough.🎙️ Summit After the Storm Podcast with Bart Wilbanks#Faith #ChristianPodcast #Jesus #ChristianLiving #SpeakTruth #StandForTruth #FaithOverFear #BiblicalTruth #ChristianEncouragement #Leadership #Courage #James1 #PersonalGrowth #LifeLessons #SummitAfterTheStorm
