Guarding Against a Critical Spirit

We dive into understanding and guarding against a critical spirit—a negative attitude of the heart that seeks to find fault, judge, and demean others. Often rooted in pride, insecurity, and a lack of love, a critical spirit can damage relationships and hinder personal growth. We explore the biblical example of David and Michal (2 Samuel 6:16-23) to see this spirit in action and learn how to overcome it through humility, love, and grace. Discover how to cultivate a heart that honors God and uplifts others.
