Judging Yourself: The Hidden Root of Judging Others
In Episode 62 of Triggered and True®, hosts Laura and Brian explore how self-judgment is the hidden root of judging others, drawing from Matthew 7:1-2. They distinguish between everyday discernment and condemning judgment tied to shame, triggers, and identity, explaining how inner pain displaces onto others—like through soapboxes or money critiques. Through biblical insights (e.g., Solomon's wisdom, kindness leading to repentance), they advocate healing self-judgment to enable loving, righteous responses. Listeners get homework: Reflect on harsh judgments and self-talk to uncover triggers.
