517 | How To Stop Gossip

Hey, did you hear about what happened to so-and-so? 

Well, I heard that they broke up. And did you know that their company is bankrupt? Yeah, and I heard that they lied about the whole thing too. What a scandal! Well, they deserve it!

On and on it goes, and I think you get the point. We’re talking about gossip on today’s show!

Those pesky little lies and half-truths that ruin reputations, divide friends, and undermine trust.

Even if the information is true, this shady kind of talk tends to do more harm than good.

Gossip is defined as “idle talk” and speculation, but all of us know that it can quickly spiral out of control! It starts with little, unconfirmed details that paint others in a negative light.

But, it doesn’t end there. These words are like matches: they will set things on fire. And there’s usually an intention, down under the surface… to put others down and lift ourselves up. 

The Hebrew word translated “gossip” in the Old Testament is defined as one who reveals secrets. The intention with those secrets is to disturb, to undermine, and even do harm.

As leaders, whether in the home or the workplace, we work hard to protect the culture of our teams and families. But, in any garden, roots of bitterness, envy, and strife can take root.

Before too long, weeds of gossip, dishonesty, and discord begin to crop up. It can be hard to keep them from spreading, once they’ve been let loose. So, what can we do about it?

That’s what we’ll dig into on today’s episode!

Grace and peace,

Chris
