The Shieldmaidens

Some words sting longer than we’d like to admit. In this episode of The Shieldmaidens, we’re opening up about the reality of harsh criticism, online hate, and the cruelty that can live in the comment section. We read real comments, share honest reactions, and talk about what it means to keep following Jesus when the opinions of others get loud. How do you stay rooted in your calling when people misunderstand you, judge you, or try to tear you down? As Christian women, we believe God never called us to be controlled by applause… or criticism. Our mission is bigger than the comment section. If you’ve ever struggled with people’s opinions, felt discouraged by criticism, or questioned whether you should keep showing up, this conversation is for you. ✨ In this episode: Reading some real comments Handling criticism as Christians Guarding your heart online Staying focused on God’s calling Choosing grace instead of bitterness Why your identity can’t come from the internet 💬 We’d love to hear from you: How do you handle criticism while staying faithful to what God has called you to do? Check out our website and shop our latest merchandise here: https://beashieldmaiden.com/ Connect with us on socials: https://www.facebook.com/theshieldmaidens https://www.instagram.com/theshieldmaidenspodcast/ Production by Hitchcock Visuals
