When Believers Wound Each Other

July 30, 2026 · 17 min

Show notes

This one came from an Instagram question sticker, and it's one of the most requested topics we get. Someone says something careless. Someone overlooks you. Someone gossips. Sometimes it's small — sometimes it's devastating.

The world calls it a personality conflict. James calls it a spiritual battle.

We walk through James 3 and talk about why jealousy is so easy to justify, why church people are so good at wearing masks, and what it looks like to be a peacemaker when you're the one who got wounded.

Welcome to Date Night with the Woods, where Pastor Tony Wood & wife Bre have truthful and transparent conversations about the blessings and challenges of being a biblical family in a progressive culture. Each episode connects biblical truths with practical ways to live for the gospel and fight for the family.
