S2 E141: Why Is It Easier to Assume Than to Ask?

Have you ever noticed how quickly we assume what someone believes before we've actually asked them?In this episode of Unpolished But Called, I reflect on a recent conversation from my YouTube comments that reminded me how easy it is to jump to conclusions. Instead of assuming someone's heart, motives, or beliefs, what if we chose curiosity first?We'll explore the difference between biblical doctrine and personal preference, why not every disagreement is a doctrinal issue, and how humility creates space for real conversations. Using Romans 14, Mark 7, and Ephesians 4, we'll look at what Scripture says about unity, tradition, and keeping Christ at the center of our discussions.The goal isn't to win arguments. It's to point people toward Jesus with both truth and grace.Scripture referenced:Romans 14:1Mark 7:8Ephesians 4:2–3If you're looking for more than podcast episodes, I also send a free weekly email called Walking It Out with Kathrin.
