The purpose of this study has sought the intrinsic characteristics through the qualitative search on the gossip discourse formed within the community(church). Gossip has a positive element in the church community as a tool for communication and empathy for the congregation. According to Donald Capps, the gossip discourse may destroy community and individuals but it also has the creative value that it is an important research theme in counseling aspect. For this purpose, the in–depth interview was implemented from 6 female participants to collect the data and analyzed it qualitatively. For the reliability and validity, the triangulation was facilitated in the process of analysis. As a result 7 characteristics were formulated. The characteristics of the gossip discourse were protectiveness, positivity, negativity, spatiality, relativity, gender, and vulnerability. To this point, those gossip studies have been discussed under the point of view to struggle against the power in politics and press. However, under this study, the implication could be found in the aspect that the gossip has the negative characteristics in general but it has the intrinsic characteristics of positive and healing to be used as counseling resource.
