149 | Can I Be Candid?

In this message, Pastor Paul Durbin challenges us to speak with “Christ-like candor”—where our words carry both truth and love. Pulling from Ephesians 4:15, we’re reminded that real growth happens when we communicate with kind clarity. In a world where people swing between coddling, cruelty, and caustic comments, Jesus invites us to be different. This teaching gives us a blueprint for having hard conversations well—including how to speak up when it would be easier to stay silent, and how to speak kindly when it would be easier to just “drop the truth.” It’s part of our Relationship Repair series, and it’s all about becoming people who bless others with our words.
