Pssst! Did ya hear the rumors? I got the gossip!

Gossip and rumors may seem like harmless whispers… but Scripture calls them spiritual sabotage. In this episode of True Word, Faith for LIFE! with Dr. Shawn, we uncover the Hebrew meaning of gossip, its destructive power in the Body of Messiah, and what Yeshua and Paul really taught about careless words.
We explore key passages like Leviticus 19:16, Proverbs 11:13, James 3, and Matthew 12:36, revealing how gossip wounds community, reflects the heart, and invites spiritual disorder. Learn how to guard your tongue, edify others, and reflect Yeshua in your speech.
🔥 Includes deep Hebrew word studies (רָכִיל — rakil), cultural context, and insights from Dr. Skip Moen and Dr. Michael Heiser.
