James is talking about showing faith to humans. Humans can only see works, we cannot see the hearts. “Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith by my works. (James 2:18, CSB)”

Curious to hear how that manifests in meat space. What do you do to warrant this perception? Too many contrarian takes or trying to change adjunct processes or “going too deep with thoughts too fast” or… ? Asking selfishly because I also believe this about myself, but can’t tell if it’s all in my head. The only thing I’ve done to mess the nest is push the pastor to seek restoration of the free mason treasurer who is also teaching Sunday school 😮‍💨 (we moved one of my kids to my class for that reason, awkward)
