Lessons from Sarah on Fear and Faith

Tired of being judged—and even

more tired of being kinda judgy?

As someone who can be… ahem… kinda judgy, nothing tempts me to pick up my gavel more than when she picks up hers. I know the temptation to hold court in my head and list out all the ways I’m right and she’s wrong. But I’ve also experienced the way Jesus melts the pride in my heart when I encounter His lavish mercy. That’s what I want for you, too.

Are you ready to hand back the gavel?

There’s a better Judge. 

As we step into the stories of Noah, Rahab, Jonah and others, you’ll not only get biblical clarity on judgment and mercy, you’ll encounter the One who melts your pride, settles your heart and lavishes you with His mercy.

You’re Invited!

 To celebrate the launch of Kinda Judgy, I’m hosting a Girls’ Night event:

Part Girls’ Night | Part Bible Study | Part Celebration

Are you Kinda Judgy?

On the Podcast: The Judgy Series

I often tell my friends, “I want the long version of the story.” On the Live Like It’s True podcast, you’ll get to hear the long versions of many of the stories I shared in Kinda Judgy. Listen to the following episodes and be encouraged by my friends Kara Seymour, Denise Kooiker, Pam Farrel, Beth Guckenberger, Felicity Carswell, Tami DeArmas, and others.

In other episodes, I’m joined by Bible teachers Lindsay Schott, Glenna Marshall, Erika VanHaitsma, and others to explore the Bible stories featured in Kinda Judgy.

Endorsers of Kinda Judgy:

Phylicia Masonheimer

“Anyone who has struggled with a critical, judgmental spirit will find both conviction and kindness in Shannon’s book. Kinda Judgy speaks to a struggle most Christian women share: a tendency to analyze the sins of others while downplaying our own. But in these pages you’ll discover more than the reason we wrestle with judgment; you’ll learn how God’s mercy unravels the deep judgment we hold toward ourselves, often projected on those around us.

Our criticism of others has roots in our inability to accept God’s mercy on our own sin. Kinda Judgy will show you the way out of unbiblical judgment, to the righteous judgment we are called to choose.”

Phylicia MasonheimerAuthor of Every Woman a Theologian

Jen Oshman

“Shannon Popkin writes with truthful precision, helping readers to see our tendency to judge others, and even have contempt for those with whom we disagree. She calls on stories from Scripture and everyday life to hold up a mirror that, I admit, I didn’t want to gaze into for too long.

I was convicted as I read. At the same time, Shannon rightly makes much of the lavish grace and mercy our Father in heaven eagerly gives to those who come to the end of ourselves. I was moved again and again by Jesus’s compassion for sinners like me. In our current cancel culture, this book is a needed exhortation, especially to Christians, to remind us that every single human deserves dignity and no one is too far gone.

As we have received mercy, so may we eagerly pass it on.”

Jen Oshman, author of Very Good: What the Bible Says About Being a Woman 

Asheritah Ciuciu

“I’ve known Shannon Popkin as a woman who takes God’s Word seriously while continually inviting her own heart into deeper humility and grace. In Kinda Judgy, she thoughtfully engages Scripture to help us examine our tendency to judge others—and ourselves—through anything other than God’s mercy.

With honesty and biblical clarity, Shannon reminds us that spiritual maturity isn’t about proving we’re right, but about learning to live humbly before God and generously toward others.”

Asheritah Ciuciu, Bestselling Author and Bible Teacher

Emily Jensen

“I can always count on Shannon’s writing to filter life through the lens of Scripture, and Kinda Judgy is no exception. Though it’s rich with biblical stories and truth, it’s also wonderfully practical.

This book offers a refreshing word and a much-needed gentle correction for our self-righteous hearts.”
