How to Judge Like Jesus Without Condemnation | Ep 126

What does it mean to judge like Jesus?In Episode 126, Brian continues Season 6, The Object of Our Formation, by exploring one of Jesus’ more uncomfortable traits: His role as judge. We all judge, and we all get judged. The question is not whether judgment exists, but whether our judgments are rooted in the ideas of the Kingdom or the hidden ideas and desires of our own hearts.This episode wrestles with the tension between “Do not judge” and “judge with righteous judgment.” Jesus does not forbid all evaluation, discernment, correction, or moral clarity. Instead, He warns against condemnation, superiority, hypocrisy, and contempt. Before we help someone else with the speck in their eye, we must first remove the log from our own.Brian explores judgment through the lens of Heartview, the Soil & Roots practice of paying attention to the signals our hearts give through thoughts, emotions, health, actions, relationships, words, time, and money. How we judge others — and how we react to being judged — often reveals the deeper ideas and wounds beneath the surface.Judging like Jesus requires self-examination, humility, compassion, discernment, and love. It means refusing both moral relativism and religious condemnation. It means seeing beneath appearances, listening to the heart, and asking whether our judgment is meant to protect, restore, heal, and build right relationship.The right kind of judgment is not contempt. It is a loving act of discernment rooted in the heart of Jesus.Join us online!Web: ⁠⁠https://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
