How to Tell If You're Gossiping — What the Bible Actually Says

Why does the same person who despises cruelty still enjoy being the one who ""just heard something""? This video walks through what Scripture actually says about gossip — not simply whether words are true, but what they reveal about the heart behind them. We look at Proverbs 11:13, 16:28, and 18:8, the story of Joseph in Matthew 1, and a practical three-question filter — Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it helpful? — that can change how you handle someone's name the next time it enters a conversation. You'll see how gossip often disguises itself as concern, frustration, or even a prayer request, and how faithful discretion looks different from simply staying silent.
