Call it What it Is: Gossip

If they’re comfortable tearing others down in front of you, they’ll have no problem doing the same to you when you’re not around. Gossip isn’t harmless — it’s betrayal dressed up as conversation, a counterfeit connection rooted in division, not love.

When gossip shows up, Scripture calls us to recognise it for what it is. 📖 "Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets; therefore, do not associate with a simple babbler." — Proverbs 20:19 (ESV)
