Today we have a discussion about critique and encouragement because they are ultimately related to each other. Far from being opposites, critique and encouragement can go hand-in-hand. We are thinking of these concepts as things that Christians should be good at, but far too often we fail horribly in them (yes, all of us!). We consider:

• When being critical is a virtue & when it is a vice. 
• What does Christian encouragement look like? What does it accomplish?
• What critique should & shouldn’t do.
• How does being overly critical effect relationships?
• How do we test ourselves in this?

So join us, think through this with us, and let’s be sharpened together!
