What drives someone to seek a softer heart in a hard world? This sermon-style episode from Resilient Truths zooms in on exactly that, as Apostle Dr. Cheryl Williams shares a message titled “Bearing One Another” for a new year and a fresh start. Drawing from Colossians 3 and Luke 6, she talks about how 2024 can be more than just another year of broken resolutions.

Instead, it can be a time to make real “adjustments” – shaving off old habits, blocking out negative conversations, and choosing kindness over criticism. She reminds the church that being God’s people means more than just saying “I’m a Christian”; it means actually living out forgiveness, mercy, and patience. You’ll hear her challenge the tendency to judge others, even when “you know the whole story”, warning that the same measuring stick used on others might be used on you.

One standout moment comes when she calls out the classic “stink face usher” – the kind of attitude that can quietly push people away from faith instead of drawing them in. It’s a funny image, but it lands a serious point: if believers are meant to win souls, why look so unapproachable? Throughout, Dr.

Williams points back to prayer as the starting place for change: asking God to “change my heart, oh God… clean me up… give me a right heart and a right spirit”. This episode speaks directly to people of faith who want to grow, church communities that have wrestled with judgment and gossip, and anyone curious about how spiritual life and everyday behaviour line up.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your attitude is pulling people closer or quietly pushing them away, this message might be the nudge to check your heart and make those much-needed adjustments.
