Just Because You Say “No Offense” Doesn’t Mean You’re Not Offensive

Just Because You Say “No Offense” Doesn’t Mean You’re Not Offensive We’ve all heard it — and maybe even said it: “No offense…” before dropping a comment that’s, well… offensive. In this episode, we unpack why slapping “no offense” in front of a statement doesn’t make it harmless, how it’s often used to dodge accountability, and why words matter more than the disclaimers we attach to them. From church small talk to political debates, we explore how this phrase shows up, the damage it can do, and how to replace it with honesty, empathy, and actual respect. 🎧 Listen in and let’s talk about better ways to speak the truth without causing unnecessary harm. #NoOffense #WordsMatter #SacredRebellion #ChristianDeconstruction #LGBTQVoices #SpiritualAbuseRecovery #FaithDeconstruction #BoundariesMatter #PodcastEpisode #TruthInLove 🎧 Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!
