In this heartfelt and convicting conversation, Rachael Adams welcomes back author and speaker Shannon Popkin to discuss her book Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible. Together, they explore how judgment often grows from a mixture of pride, insecurity, and self-criticism, causing us to feel judged by others and respond with judgment of our own. Drawing from biblical accounts such as Jonah, the thief on the cross, and the woman caught in adultery, Shannon reveals how God’s mercy—not our moral superiority—is what sets us apart. She challenges listeners to recognize contempt in their own hearts, embrace the mercy Christ has extended to them, and extend that same compassion to others. Ultimately, this episode is a powerful reminder that while God is a righteous Judge, His deepest desire is for us to know His abundant mercy and allow that mercy to transform the way we view ourselves and the people around us.
