In this episode, Ken Fish and Grant Pemberton address a critical but often overlooked topic: gossip and slander in the digital age.
Prompted in part by recent public controversies, the episode is not a response to any specific investigation or accusation, but rather an exploration of how Christians should think, speak, and conduct themselves online—especially in a time when misinformation, sensationalism, and instant judgment are widespread.
Ken shares biblical guidance and pastoral wisdom on how believers should engage (or not engage) with controversial topics, what it means to be “above reproach,” and why it’s so important to guard our witness in this age of viral rage and cancel culture.
He explains that we’re not here to suppress truth or protect the guilty. But the internet isn’t exempt from biblical standards.
🔑 Topics Covered:
Distinguishing between objective wrongdoing and unverified gossip
What it means to be temperate, prudent, and respectable online
Why ragebait and slander are dangerous for believers
The biblical standard for speaking truth and guarding your tongue
Practical examples: what to post, share, or stay silent on
How gossip and unverified reports ruin reputations and trust
