Do our churches feel more like sanctuaries or scrutiny zones? In this solo episode, Kristin Fitch invites Christian women to reflect on whether we’re truly embodying Christ’s love—or unintentionally pushing others away through judgment. Drawing from personal stories and real-life devotionals, Kristin explores how subtle cues and silent criticisms can damage our witness. She challenges us to shift from judgment to grace, creating faith spaces where everyone feels seen, welcomed, and loved—just as they are.

If you’ve ever felt heartache over how the church treats outsiders, or want to become a more open-hearted believer, this conversation is for you.

• True Christian love means embracing others without preconditions, even if they don’t look, speak, or show up like we expect.
• Judgment creates walls; grace opens doors to deeper relationships and transformed lives.
• Reflecting on our tone, posture, and comments can reveal unconscious ways we make others feel excluded.
• Jesus modeled radical inclusion—our calling is to be the hands and feet of that kind of love.
• Every interaction in our faith communities is a chance to show people they matter to God—and to us.
