Have you ever been misinterpreted or criticized by something you said? Are you trying to navigate the challenges of cancel-culture while maintaining your commitment to speaking the truth? 

My friend Tim Ross, and my guest on today’s show, is a podcaster, social media influencer, author, and preacher who’s had his experiences with controversy and conflict, both in public and on social media.

Tim shares how he remains unashamed in speaking the truth. He also provides insights on:

• Responding to criticism 
• Handling conflict in a mature and loving manner
• Addressing strong language and misinterpretation

Anyone who has a public platform knows that there will always be online criticism and sometimes controversy. Knowing when not to engage is important.

Having a space for people to be seen, heard, known, and loved is important for healing from this and other types of trauma. Therapy and confession are a crucial role in the healing process. 

Show your appreciation to Tim by tagging him @Upsetthegram and me @biancaolthoff.

Love you,

Quote

Confession is literally good for the soul. It's absolutely good for the soul. And there's a lot of people that confess vertically, but they don't do it horizontally, and therefore they actually don't get healed.

Takeaways

1. Dealing with controversy and conflict requires a strong sense of identity and purpose.
2. Navigating cancel-culture involves staying true to one's beliefs and not being swayed by public opinion.
3. Responding to criticism and controversy should be done with maturity, love, and a willingness to engage in dialogue.
4. Using strong language can be effective in conveying strong emotions, but it is important to consider the context and potential misinterpretation.
