Before sharing something online, in public, or in person, have you ever stopped and asked yourself,
“Is this the right time and place to share this info?”
And…
“Am I sharing this with the right people?”
And
“Should I be sharing this info at all?”
If so, then you are exercising some discretion in your speech and sharing. This is excellent. A strong sphere of influence requires us to be wise about who we share with and when. People will respect you if they can see you know who to share with and who not to share with. That means they can trust you. Trust will build your influence with your team or group.
In my book, 12 Good Traits Of A Leader, (Amazon paperback link here, and eBook link here) I discuss discretion as being one of 12 major traits that good leaders possess. But in actuality, all people need this trait, not just leaders. Here’s how I define it in the book:
“Discretion is… a positive ‘boundary line’ to help guide us in our interactions with each other in every sphere of life and to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands.” (Curtis Alexander, 12 Good Traits Of A Leader, Page 66 in the paperback, Curtis Alexander Books.)
Indiscretion is the opposite. It’s violating the good boundary line. It is when you cross over into bad territory: oversharing, gossiping, and prying.
If you disrespect the good boundary, called Discretion, you will eventually suffer loss in your business, church life, and even personal life. You may even lose respect from others.
The Bible clearly tells us that discretion, (aka “selective sharing”, “respecting boundaries”) is of the utmost importance when guarding your life, your heart, your family, your church, and even your business.
Proverbs 2:11 (NKJV) Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you,
Speak wisely, and only when needed. It will preserve your life and friendships and Christian ministry and family.
Proverbs 3:21 (NKJV) My son, let them not depart from your eyes — Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
Keep discretion in front of your eyes and at the front of your mind.
Proverbs 5:2 (NKJV) That you may preserve discretion, And your lips may keep knowledge.
Many times, shutting your lips is the way to preserve discretion, as Proverbs 5:2 says. There will be many times that you should not post something on social media. Yes you read that correctly! Not everything is fit for consumption on public social platforms. NOT sharing is often the best way to preserve discretion — healthy boundaries.
The Bible even tells us to guard our hearts, because all the issues of life flow from it.
Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV) Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.
So there are many bad practices we might fall into that cause indiscretion and loss of respect. These bad habits make others respect and trust you less. Here are three problem habits in particular:
I will give a brief overview of each of these bad traits below:
Oversharing is a terrible habit as it erodes your credibility and makes people respect you less. They can get exhausted by nonstop chatter or endless facebook posts that seem to have no point.
Oversharing will also make you likely to leak private information that is not fit for others at church or work to know. Anyone with internet access can see much of what we share online (if not all of it). Be aware of this.
Oversharing endangers you as there may be someone close by who has malicious intentions. (Example: they may be out to steal your bank info, ruin your reputation, or kidnap your children, etc.) Think about this:
Let’s say you overshare with the public on social media, and let everyone in the world know you are in the hospital or on vacation. This alerts strangers and lets them know your house is possibly unoccupied. And with locational and GPS technology available, it’s not too hard to track where people may be living. It’s ok to share with friends and family you trust. Just be sure you are using the correct “privacy setting” on your post before you hit the “share” button. When in doubt, use personal communication lines over social ones. Use telephone, text, or private messaging services instead.
And sometimes, we just talk too much. Maybe we are sharing safe info and nothing too private. Maybe we are sharing just fun ideas or our personal theories about life and the universe. Well, read the people around you and see if they are interested or not. Oversharing (even benign info or opinions) leads to exhaustion in others. People get tired of those who talk too much. Practice listening to people not just talking. Observe people. See if you are engaging them or merely boring them. Their body language will let you know.
Gossip is a nasty one. It’s when we talk about others in a harmful way behind their backs. We get a “kick” out of learning the “dirt” on someone else, then spreading it around. Gossip is an evil practice that does nothing but destroy respect, harm reputations, foster falsehoods, spread rumours, and ruin relationships.
Gossip can seem innocent sometimes. For instance, I know of a church hopper who at one point was discussing “church A” to the people of “church B”. This person had a rampant curiosity not based in Scripture, and wanted to know if church B had heard of church A. There was no point to this as they are in completely different regions/towns. No leadership was involved on either side.
The person was not a leader or a minister. They were a church hopper, that had difficulty knowing what church they should call “home”. They returned to “church A” spreading the falsehood that “no one has ever heard of you.” Of course that was a lie. Church A had a ton of connections to other ministers and churches, fellowships and ministerials. So the leadership shut that lie down and asked that person to stop spreading it to the people. It was damaging, false and demonic. Fortunately the person respected that request and began practicing discretion. Boundary lines were respected after that. Churches in one region don’t need to know the details of the inner workings of other churches in other regions. They shouldn’t be comparing themselves to each other. They should all focus on the great commission of winning the lost instead and on sharing the Word. (See Matthew 28:18–20).
Finally, the third trap people might fall into that damages their respect among others is prying. We must recognize that not everything is our business to know.
If someone does not volunteer the information, and you are not in a place of authority over that person, don’t try to dig for details. It’s one thing if an employee has to give an account to an employer. But it’s very different if you are both on equal levels. You are not entitled to know the private affairs of others. Even as a pastor, I do not pry for info. If people share something voluntarily with me, that’s different. When they choose to share in confidence, I respect that and keep it in confidence. That’s called trust.
Prying is generally seen by others as invasive and will chip away at the credibility of those who practice it. Pryers will lose respect and trust over time, because they don’t respect the healthy boundaries in front of them. They are looking for ways to get around those necessary barriers. And their motives are often bad.
To learn more about how to overcome these three bad non-discreet habits, Part 2 is exclusive to my Substack blog here. In part 2, I dive deeper into Scripture, giving Biblical examples of each bad habit and how we can guard against these things and get success! Thank you for your support!

I just wanted to make a quick post about Mark 16:15-18 New King James Version. In it we hear the words of Jesus:
Mark 16:15-18 NKJV
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
So here we see the Great Commission and also a promise from Jesus. If we rely on His Spirit then we shall perform miracles in Jesus' name.
Lay hands on the sick and see them recover. You will be protected in case you are accidentally exposed to a dangerous substance or toxin. Cast out demons.
Speak in new tongues both earthly and heavenly as the Holy Spirit gives utterance.
And preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to all people.
This is all part of the Christian life.
Yet I am not against natural healing either. Some Christians go too far and claim all doctors are evil and all medicine is witchcraft or bad. This is out of balance.
While it is true some doctors are out of order, many others are working hard and doing their best to help people.
I believe doctors, and meds, can be helpful sometimes. They don't have ALL the answers, but sometimes they offer helpful advice.
Some doctors are believers (I know one!)
I do NOT believe we should run to the doctor first though. I think we should always PRAY TO JESUS first. Then see what else should happen if anything.
Supernatural healing is available to anyone who calls on Jesus! No sickness is too big. All illness must obey the mighty King Jesus.
Some healings take place instantly.
Other healings take place over days, months or years. In other words, healing is sometimes a process or a journey.
Jesus gave His body and blood for us. So believe Him and count yourself healed in Him.
And tell others about Him and how He forgives sins and heals the sick. Lay hands on others who want prayer. Expect God to heal them in Jesus' name.
In the times when healing is gradual, don't be afraid of using some medicines. Only as directed by medical professionals. (This article is not a substitute for medical advice.) Always pray about each prescription a doctor might prescribe. There is no moral conflict between the Bible and medicine, UNLESS one puts medicine BEFORE the Bible.
I trusted God to heal my Sacro-illiac joint dysfunction in 2013. I prayed for healing FIRST. And then I went to a chiropractor. After about 6 weeks of prayer and physical adjustments, God healed me. And He used that doctor to help the process. Eventually I was able to walk and stand up properly again and the pain stopped. Praise Jesus!
My healing was a journey. And God chose to use a doctor in my case.
God gets the glory here, and in every other situation.
So my belief is:
Pray for healing FIRST.
Then, as needed, go see a doctor, and get meds as needed. As long as we prioritize Jesus and His kingdom FIRST, then God will add other things to us as we need them, including, for instance, pain killers. (See Mat 6:33 - seek first the Kingdom of God).
Our dependancy is on Christ alone, not mankind.
In the end, God has a path to healing for all people. Sometimes the path is instant. Othertimes the path is a longer process.
But no matter how long it takes, God's path always leads to healing for ALL who call on Jesus. JESUS is our path to healing. Let's walk with Him in that Way. He is The Way (See John 14:6).
At the Lord's return, all things will be made new, including our bodies!
God bless

GLORY TO GOD
Lord protect Canada's Sovereignty, and unity, from its own federal leadership. We bless the newly elected PM Carney to repent and become strong and more focused on Canada. You alone know how to make him forget his globalist non-issues and woke ideas. You alone know how to redirect him to issues that actually matter.
Eliminate those distractions from his eyes (because You Lord specialize in miracles!!) and refocus him on righteousness, cost of living, and on Canada's provinces. His new election is endangering unity with Alberta. Cause him to end industrial carbon taxation, to build pipelines, and to overhaul his ridiculous budget. You have preserved us for generations despite our leaders. You kept Quebec unified with us- twice. You can also keep Alberta with us. You caused Trudeau junior to step down. We are so grateful and thankful that you did cause him to step down as that government was extremely corrupt and weak, causing much harm to our economy and freedoms. You can do it again. You can shuffle the leaders. You can cause this very weak minority government to go back to election again.
Bless Carney to not be weak against Trump's oppressive and disrespectful ideas of annexation. We saw how Poilievre would have been better suited for this role of PM, so he could deal with the US, defend Canada strongly, and enact successful domestic policy that serves Canadians better.
We all lay our political opinions down at your feet Jesus. Habakkuk did not understand why you judged Judah by raising up and promoting an even more wicked government, the Babylonians/Chaldeans. That's exactly what happened in our last election.
But You are GOOD and RIGHTEOUS.
Habakkuk trusted You God in Your righteous judgments nonetheless.
And so, like Habakkuk, we trust You.
We thank You.
We praise You Jesus.
Jesus you are still King of kings in Canada. You are still Sovereign over the sovereign nation of Canada. In Jesus' Name Amen.
To God Be The Glory.
