Episode Synopsis


This episode highlights gossip as a neglected yet serious sin that Scripture equates with harming or even “murdering” a neighbor, drawing on Leviticus 19:16. Through vivid examples, the author shows how talebearing destroys lives: a pastor caring for his bedridden wife with the help of a young Christian girl loses his ministry after malicious rumors spread, while the true gossip remains unpunished; likewise, another pastor is falsely accused of financial misconduct yet forced out despite the accuser being exposed as a liar. These stories illustrate how gossip injures the innocent, damages reputations, and undermines justice. The author warns that although churches may tolerate talebearers, God does not He views gossip as a grave violation, and those who ignore His Word in this matter will face His judgment.
