Learning Objective: Recognize how gossip can become a counterfeit source of self-esteem and connection, identify its impact on relationships, and choose direct, respectful, and biblically grounded communication that protects dignity and promotes reconciliation.

Scriptures:

  • Matthew 18: 15-20
  • Romans 13:8-10

Prayer: Dear Lord delivery me from the tendency to share another person’s story many times because of my own insecurities. Help me to rejoice in the success of others over my own and ground my sense of worth and value in you, an unshakable anchor of identity.

Aquinas’s discussion includes sorrow over another’s good, pleasure in another’s misfortune, and attempts to damage someone’s reputation.

  1. Tale-bearing
    Carrying stories between people in ways that create conflict, division, or mistrust. Tale-bearing does not simply damage a reputation; it can damage a relationship.
  2. Detraction
    Sharing another person’s faults or failures—even when the information is true—when there is no legitimate need for others to know it. Before speaking, ask:
    Is it true—and does this truth need to be shared with this person?
  3. Delight in another person’s misfortune
    Feeling secretly pleased when someone fails, loses influence, or experiences difficulty because it makes us feel better about ourselves.
  4. Sorrow over another person’s good fortune
    Feeling diminished, resentful, or threatened when someone else succeeds, receives recognition, or experiences something good.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this podcast and Bible study, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the biblical context of Elijah’s encounter with God in 1 Kings 19.

  • Apply the EIC (Encounter–Identified Behavior–Course Correct) Framework to strengthen their relationship with God.
  • Develop a daily practice of stillness, prayer, and listening for God’s guidance.

Five key areas of understanding:

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for reminding us that Your presence is often found in the quiet moments of life. Help us to slow down, trust Your timing, and listen with open hearts. Give us discernment to recognize Your voice above the noise of the world, courage to follow where You lead, and peace to rest in Your unfailing love. May we leave today renewed, encouraged, and confident that You are always near, even when You speak in a gentle whisper. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Learning Objective:
By the end of this episode, participants will be able to recognize that healing is a God-guided process requiring time, identify emotional and spiritual behaviors that may hinder healing, and apply the Emotional Intelligence in Christ (EIC) framework—Encounter, Identify the Behavior, and Course Correct—to respond with faith, patience, and trust in God’s promises.

Scriptures: Philippians 1:6 | Deuteronomy 31:8 | Romans 12:2 | James 1:4 | Psalm 147:3
Ecclesiastes 3:1 | Psalm 147:3

The book helped them understand five key areas:

  1. Trusting and understanding the timing of healing
  2. Remembering God is on your side
  3. Developing Patience within Yourself

Prayer:
Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being our Healer, our Comforter, and our constant source of hope. When healing feels slow, help us to trust Your perfect timing. Renew our minds, strengthen our bodies, restore our hearts, and deepen our faith. Help us by giving us patience to embrace the process and confidence to know that You are always working for our good. Let the message in the teaching help all those who need healing, by reminding us all that in each day we never walk alone because You are with us every step of the journey.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for another day to praise and honor You. Even when our attention drifts and our focus becomes distracted, You remain faithful and never forget us.

As we begin our study of the Book of Ruth, open our hearts to recognize Your restoring power at work in our lives. Help us see that even during seasons of loss, disappointment, uncertainty, and waiting, you are still working behind the scenes for our good.

Give us discernment when bitterness, discouragement, fear, or hopelessness try to take root in our hearts. Teach us to replace those thoughts with trust in Your promises and confidence in Your faithfulness.

Strengthen us to choose obedience over compromise, faith over fear, and hope over despair. Help us trust that You are the God who restores what has been lost and renews what has been broken.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
