    The Way to be Free of Judging and Feeling Judged | Felicity Carswell | Luke 18

    Judgy people distance themselves and look down on others. But the surprise in the Bible is what actually makes someone righteous. In this episode of Live Like It's True, Felicity Carswell and I talk about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector from Luke 18 and share some of our own stories of being confronted with self-reliance. The truth is, none of us are righteous. We all need mercy. And when we receive it—when we go home justified, we're also free of judging ourselves against other people.   Purchase "Kinda Judgy"  If you're tired of being judged—or even more tired of being so judgy, grab a copy of my new book with Moody Publishers: Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible.
