Christian Trolls | How to Disagree Online Without Dividing the Church

Preach and Brandon explain why “Christian trolling” is a contradiction, distinguishing trolling from constructive criticism and urging believers to engage online with humility, patience, and love. They discuss how quick judgments from short clips and lack of context fuel disunity, and contrast trolling’s personal attacks with sharing truth in love, letting the Holy Spirit bring conviction. Using Matthew 18:15–20, they outline Jesus’ process for addressing sin or error—private conversation first, then bringing others, then the church—rather than public smear or “cancel” tactics, and note how public fighting is a terrible witness. They reference James 1:19 and several Proverbs about fools, emphasize praying before responding, and call listeners to be “unifiers” who seek understanding, ask sincere questions, and strengthen unity in the body of Christ.
