678 \\ How to Evaluate Leaders Without Becoming Critical, Naïve, or Dishonoring

How do you evaluate a leader or ministry in a biblical way? In a culture of online call-outs, quick conclusions, spiritual manipulation, and blind loyalty, we need mature discernment. Scripture calls us to test what we hear, judge rightly, and pay attention to fruit—but it also calls us to humility, mercy, honor, and love. In this teaching, Juliana shares how to discern healthy leadership without becoming critical, naïve, cynical, or dishonoring. You’ll learn what to look for over time, how to test both message and fruit, why character matters as much as gifting, and how to stay rooted in truth when questions arise around a leader or ministry. This is not about becoming a better critic. It is about becoming a more mature believer—one who can recognize what is healthy, respond wisely to what is harmful, and remain anchored in Jesus.   OWN IT™ Challenge If you are tired of second-guessing yourself, carrying too much, shrinking to keep the peace, or feeling disconnected from the woman God created you to be, join me for the free OWN IT™ Challenge.
