“If the goal really is to help as many people as possible, shouldn’t the way you communicate be on the table for self-reflection? Many of the negative reviews lament the helpful content presented in an unhelpful way. I would challenge the hosts to do the hard work that they expect from others; examine the research and honestly self-reflect:
I.e.examine the research on condescending communication and self-reflect.
Does this description of contempt sound familiar: “Dispositional contempt – that is, in their tendency to look down on, feel cold toward, and derogate or distance those who violate their standards and values.”

Does any of this sound familiar to listeners as examples of condescending language:
- Making backhanded compliments
- Using sarcasm or humor to imply someone’s ignorance
- Interrupting or talking over someone
Proverbs 18:19: A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
Is there a way you could present the same information without the sarcasm and disdain?”
