Podcasts about discerning

The second week of the “Don't Be Dumb” series centers on Direction, showing that our lives are shaped less by big moments and more by small, daily decisions. Rooted in Proverbs 3:5–6, it contrasts trusting God with leaning on our limited understanding, revealing how subtle drift—not obvious rebellion—often leads us off course over time. Wisdom calls us to surrender our direction to God by resisting fear, seeking wise counsel, and choosing faithfulness over what simply looks good. Though trusting God doesn't guarantee ease or clarity, it leads to a life formed by steady, surrendered steps rather than slow, unintentional drift.

Be Discerning

Working of Miracles, the Gift of Prophecy and the Gift of Discerning of Spirits. 

There are two important topics that John discusses in chapter 4. First: 1) Discerning False Prophets and 2) Loving One Another. As much as we'd like to cover all of this at one time, we thought it will be better to divide these into two studies. So today, we're going to talk about Discerning False Prophets (vss 1-6) and then next week we'll pick up verses 7-21 and the topic of Loving One Another. Thanks for listening. God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Discerning The Body - Andy Snoke

John 12:1–19 We read John 12 with an eye for meaning, moving from Mary's costly anointing to a king on a donkey and the tension between literal history and spiritual truth. We sit with hard questions about Judas, poverty, symbolism, and what counts as essential belief.• Why John's timeline differs from the synoptics• Anointing at Bethany as humility, burial, and honor• Judas, the common purse, and ethics of the poor• Diakonos as service rather than slavery• Litra as possible burial measure and its weight• Plotting against Lazarus as reaction to living proof• Triumphal entry and Zechariah's humble king• Early Friends, James Naylor, and costly witness• Remembering after glory as theology of insight• Discerning essentials: resurrection, birth, and belief• Physical–spiritual continuum and modern lensesA complete list of our podcasts, organized into topics, is available on our website.

I don't remember who first told me to read Yanis Varoufakis's Techno-Feudalism: What Killed Capitalism, but whoever you are—thank you and also how dare you. This book broke something in my brain, in that good way where you realize the map you've been using doesn't match the territory anymore and now you have to rethink everything. Varoufakis isn't a theologian, but reading him felt like encountering a prophetic voice—someone naming the powers and principalities of our moment with a clarity that made me uncomfortable in all the right ways. So what you're about to read isn't exactly a book review. It's more like the stuff that ran through my head while I was reading—the connections I couldn't stop making to our faith, our politics, our souls. I kept thinking about Paul's language of powers and principalities. I kept thinking about the psalmist's warning against idols. I kept thinking about Jesus flipping tables in the temple, and wondering what he'd do with an algorithm. Varoufakis gave me a new vocabulary for something I'd been feeling but couldn't name: the sense that we've crossed into a new kind of unfreedom, one that's less about chains on our bodies and more about the curation of our desires. Consider this an invitation. Read the book. Argue with it. Let it mess with you. And then let's figure out together what faithfulness looks like when the lords live in the cloud. ⁠⁠You can subscribe to the Audio Essay podcast feed here.⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Join us at Theology Beer Camp, October 8-10, in Kansas City!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠UPCOMING ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth?

Listen along as we continue through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 25:1-27 - Faith  Title: Political Purgatory “…He is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.” (Acts 9:15) “The soul that is not united solely to the will of God will find neither rest nor sanctification in any self-chosen means — not even in the most excellent exercises of piety. If that which God Himself chooses for you does not suffice, what other hand can minister to your desires? If you turn from the food the divine will itself has prepared for you, what viands (archaic for food) will not prove insipid to a taste so depraved? A soul cannot be truly nourished, strengthened, purified, enriched, or sanctified, except by the fullness of the present moment.” - Jean Pierre de Caussade “This is an important point about the interaction between God's purposes and our praying. Sometimes when we pray and wait for God to act, part of the answer is that God is indeed going to act but that he will do so through our taking proper human responsibility in the matter. It's hard to tell in advance, what the answer will be. There are times when it is “the Lord will fight for you and you've only to keep still” (Ex. 14:14) and other times when it is “be strong and very courageous for you shall put this people in possession of the land I swore to give them” (Josh. 1:6). Discerning and discovering which applies in which case, a note that even in the latter case God is giving the people the land which Joshua is giving them is a major element in the discernment to which all Christians and especially all Christian leaders are called.” - N.T. Wright “God is too wise to be mistaken. Too good to be unkind.  And, when you can't trace His hand, you can always trust His heart.” - Charles Spurgeon “Lord, I would run for you, Loving the miles for your sake. I would climb the highest tree to be that much closer. Lord, I will learn also to kneel down into the world of the invisible, the inscrutable and the everlasting. Then I will move no more than the leaves of a tree on a day of no wind, bathed in light, like the wanderer who has come home at last and kneels in peace, done with all unnecessary things; every motion; even words.” - Mary Oliver

Not every spiritual problem looks demonic. Some look organized. Structured. Even successful. In this sobering and necessary conversation, Dr. Delisa Rodgers unpacks how fleshly witchcraft can operate through church leadership, not through occult practices, but through control, pride, fear, and manipulation. This episode explores the red flags that believers must discern with wisdom and spiritual maturity: • Control masked as “maintaining order” • Leaders who believe only they can hear from God • Suppression of the Holy Spirit's movement • Ministry decisions driven by political agendas • Measuring success by size instead of spiritual fruit • Hidden ambition disguised as calling You will learn the difference between strong leadership and spiritual control. Between order and oppression. Between structure and suppression. This is not a call to accusation. It is a call to discernment. Scripture reminds us that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and that we must not quench the Spirit. In a time where platforms are growing but discernment is thinning, this conversation will sharpen your spiritual perception and protect your heart. If you have ever felt tension in a church atmosphere you could not explain… If you have ever questioned leadership patterns but lacked language for it… If you desire to lead or serve with purity and humility… This episode is for you. Healthy leadership releases. It equips. It celebrates the gifts of others. It fears God more than public opinion. Listen prayerfully. Reflect honestly. And allow the Holy Spirit to refine both your discernment and your leadership. Before you go, make sure you stop by The Teaching Vault. It's your hub for deeper prophetic insight, leadership development, spiritual warfare strategies, family‑strengthening tools, and resources to help you grow with clarity and power.

In this episode, Dr. Nathan Jacobs explores the rise of the religiously unaffiliated, a group that has grown dramatically over the past two decades. Drawing from his research, interviews, and the documentary, Becoming Truly Human, he examines the beliefs, intuitions, and spiritual instincts that shape this rapidly expanding demographic.Far from simple atheism, the world of the “nones” is complex, morally serious, and often deeply spiritual. This lecture begins a three-part series unpacking who they are, what they believe, and how meaningful dialogue might be possible.This is part 1 of 3 on the religiously unaffiliated, or "nones".Do you want to watch the Becoming Truly Human documentary?

In this episode we answer questions from Ben, Todd, and Tom. We discuss how managed futures differ from momentum, differentiating Monte Carlo simulations and why you need to be careful with parameterized simulations, and flexible withdrawal strategies generally and applied to the sample portfolios.LInks:QMOM and DBMF comparison and correlations:  testfol.io/analysis?s=5lCK1KCsAsxMorningstar 2025 State of Retirement Income Report:  Morningstar State_of_Retirement_Income_2025.pdf - Google DrivePortfolio Charts Annual Returns Calculator:  Annual Returns – Portfolio ChartsBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Ever wondered why a momentum stock fund and a managed futures fund can look similar on the surface yet behave like opposites when markets lurch? We dig into the real differences between equity momentum strategies like QMOM and multi-asset trend programs like DBMF, explaining how managed futures trade across stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies with the ability to go long and short. That breadth—and the discipline to follow trends over weeks to a year—creates low correlation to traditional portfolios and turns macro chaos into potential opportunity.From there, we tackle the Monte Carlo confusion that trips up even seasoned planners. We compare historical shuffles that preserve real-world co-movements with parameterized simulations that assume normal distributions and independence—two assumptions markets love to break. You'll hear why fat tails matter, how “impossible” scenarios sneak into naïve models, and where to find usable inputs without double-counting inflation. We also share a simple framework: use multiple calculators, add historical stress tests starting in rough windows like 1968 or 2000, and look for consistent results across tools before you trust any forecast.Finally, we turn to retirement withdrawals and the habits that actually hold up. Instead of rigid CPI bumps, we walk through constant-percentage withdrawals, guardrails, and the reality that retiree spending tends to run at CPI minus 1–2 percent outside healthcare.

Discerning The Signs of the Times - part 8

Forgiveness is one of the most beautiful commands in Scripture — and one of the hardest to live out. In this message, we walk through Genesis 42–45 and discover how Joseph models biblical forgiveness, wise discernment, and God‑honoring restoration.This sermon explores how forgiveness can be present in the heart long before trust is restored in a relationship. Joseph shows us that forgiveness is not pretending sin didn't happen, not ignoring patterns of harm, and not rushing reconciliation. Instead, it is choosing mercy while discerning whether repentance and transformation are truly present.If you've ever struggled with forgiveness, trust, or healing from past wounds, this message will speak deeply to your heart. Key ScripturesGenesis 42–45 — Joseph tests his brothersRomans 8:28 — God works all things for goodLuke 6:27–36 — Love your enemiesRomans 12:17–21 — Overcome evil with good

As we continue learning how to tune ourselves to God's voice, we also grow in discerning what is true. When it comes to our decisions, beliefs, and purpose, we need to rely on Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and our community for discernment. Listen as Pastor Amy and Pastor Brent explore what Godly discernment looks like in everyday life.

Msgr. Esseff reflects on the teaching of the Sacred Scriptures for the Feast of the Presentation in the Temple. The post The Presentation in the Temple – Building a Kingdom of Love with Msgr. John Esseff – Discerning Heart Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Introduction and RecapMany Christians today find themselves on the “Treadmill of Religion:” running like crazy but not actually going anywhere. Many feel “stuck” in their spiritual growth anddevelopment…but this is something that every Christian ought to be pursuing.In Philippians 1:1-8, Paul has told us not only how he feels about these believers, but also how he identifies them:1. They are saints (vs 1) - set apart from sin unto God, holy, “in” Christ2. They are partners in ministry (vs 5) – financial support, cooperation in evangelism, prayer and concern for Paul3. They are partakers of grace (vs 7) – salvation grace and empowering grace for ministryPaul’s prayer in vs 9-11 is for the spiritual growth and development of the believers.The Principles for Spiritual GrowthThe Foundation: Love (vs 9)Everything in the Christian life flows from a heart that loves God and loves people.Love is the greatest of all Christian virtues!The kind of love Paul is talking about here can be defined as…A Divine Love - God is the source, he provides it!Rom. 5:5 – God’s love shed abroad in our hearts1 John 4:19 – we love because he first loved usAn Active Love – Greek word agape = love of the will or choice1 Cor. 13 – all actionsJohn 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gaveThis love seeks the good of others and meets real needsAn Intelligent Love - love that is accompanied by knowledge and discernmentKnowledge = truth of God’s word (love informed)Discernment = moral insight/perception/application of truthThe Filter: Discernment (vs 10)The foundation of love leads to the filter of discernment: the ability to “discern what is best” for our lives.Discerning between what is “good” and what is “best” for us.It’s the ability to establish the right priorities and make wise informed choices that will cause spiritual growth.The Fruit: Righteousness (vs 11)When we apply this discerning love to our lives, it results in bearing

As we move into a new year, Alyson and I explore one of the most important skills of our time: discernment. In a world saturated with noise, manipulation, and endless information streams, this conversation is about reconnecting with what actually feels true—in your body, your heart, and your lived experience.We talk about why the traditional calendar feels increasingly out of sync with natural rhythms, and how ancient systems rooted in the sun, moon, and seasons offer a deeper sense of alignment. From there, we unpack how modern technology, media, and algorithm-driven platforms hijack attention, overstimulate the nervous system, and subtly pull us away from our inner guidance—often without us even realizing it.Alyson shares the practices that anchor her back into truth, including prayer, sacred fire, drumming, plant medicines, and daily rituals that reconnect her to Earth and spirit. We also get into the medicine of imperfection—why releasing the pressure to be flawless is essential for real growth, compassion, and humility, especially for those walking spiritual paths.Along the way, we reflect on unity versus division, the importance of nature as a reality check, and how fear-based operating systems can quietly shape our lives until we consciously choose something else. There's also a memorable (and cautionary) story involving incense, firemen, and a very unexpected lesson in presence.If you've been feeling disoriented, overstimulated, or unsure what to trust lately, this episode offers grounded reminders, practical anchors, and a powerful invitation to reclaim your own inner compass.Get the Animal Power book and deck, plus a free guided drumming shamanic journey to meet your power animal, at alysoncharles.com/animalpower.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

How Mystery Babylon Infiltrates and Influences the Church | KIB 515 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Subtitle: Mystery Babylon in the Church: How a Seductive System Keeps Believers Trapped This Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (episode #515) digs into a hard but crucial question: How has Mystery Babylon infiltrated and influenced the Church? Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake unpack how a global Babylonian system has been built around us—politically, economically, spiritually—and how it keeps people "comfortable," passive, and afraid to confront evil. Mary shares a sobering picture the Lord showed her of a Babylonian "cloud system" that pulls people back in whenever they try to step out, and a deeply personal testimony of confronting hidden darkness, trauma, and occult networks. From there, Dr. Lake lays out a powerful biblical teaching on Mystery Babylon's strategy to infiltrate and then influence the Church: Seduction instead of open confrontation Syncretism (mixing paganism with Christianity) Entertainment-based "worship" replacing reverence Prophetic performance instead of true prophetic voices Debt, media, and politics used to pressure pastors The push to blur holiness, law, and biblical authority You'll also hear about current examples, including the Sean Bolz / Bethel prophetic scandal, how fear of confrontation keeps leaders trapped, and why so many ministries will not face what's really going on. Most importantly, this episode is a call to the remnant: To face the truth about Babylon's influence To come out of religious harlotry and man-made empire To return to holiness, the fear of the Lord, biblical depth, and true spiritual warfare To embrace kingdom identity over cultural identity To be willing to suffer well, stand apart, and be "the absolute other" in a collapsing system Dr. Lake closes with a prophetic look at what's ahead in 2026–2027, the coming shaking of Babylon, and a charge to stand firm so you can hear, "Well done, My good and faithful servant." Timeline of Topics Discussed (for Chapters) (Adjust timestamps to match your final edit.) 00:00 – Biblical Life intro & opening montage Program intro: Biblical Life TV mission to empower the remnant for the last days. 02:00 – Welcome to KIB 515 & severe winter weather Dr. Michael and Mary Lou share about the heavy snow, partner prayers, and God's faithfulness. 05:00 – Mary's vision of the Babylonian "cloud system" Mary explains the picture God showed her: a spiritual Babylonian system like a cloud/vacuum that pulls people back whenever they try to move out. 10:00 – How Babylon keeps people "comfortable" and quiet A seductive spirit whispers, "Don't confront this… you can't change anything… just go along," creating apathy and passivity. 14:00 – Matthew 24, end-time deception, and false prophets Reading from Matthew 24; discussion of deception, lawlessness, and the clear signs we are in the last days. 18:00 – The Sean Bolz / Bethel prophetic scandal Mary reviews the public information: mining social media and conference registrations to fake "prophecy," Bill Johnson's apology, and the refusal to confront earlier. 23:00 – The danger of needing "a word" instead of hearing God for yourself Why the obsession with personal prophecies is dangerous, and encouragement to seek God directly. 27:00 – True prophets vs false prophetic performance Dr. Lake shares earlier experiences with real prophets, how they confront sin, and the fear of the Lord that surrounds true prophetic ministry. 32:00 – Mary's personal testimony: coming out of Babylon and trauma Mary recounts her own journey: Deep depression and blocked memories A whistleblower woman who exposed local occult and corruption Fort Leonard Wood hospital stories, missing babies, and a man who claimed to be her son The cost of facing painful truth and choosing to confront instead of deny 42:00 – The necessity of spiritual warfare and praying your own way out Mary exhorts listeners: no one can do all your praying for you; you must engage spiritual warfare and choose not to participate in Babylon. 47:00 – Dr. Lake's thesis: How Mystery Babylon infiltrates and influences the Church Mystery Babylon as a counterfeit religious, political, and economic system that works by infiltration → influence → substitution. 52:00 – Adaptability of Babylon vs. slowness of the Church Babylon's guerrilla tactics and tentacles versus a tradition-bound Church that defends man-made customs over the Word of God. 56:00 – Syncretism: blending the Bible with pagan and occult ideas How pagan practices, New Age methods, and even Masonic material have been baptized into "Christian" ministries and prophetic schools. 1:02:00 – Counterfeit revelation & prophetic manipulation Dreams, visions, and "secret knowledge" used to undermine Scripture and create dependence on personalities instead of the written Word. 1:07:00 – Entertainment-driven church vs biblical worship From temple worship to Vegas-style services; why emotional spectacle has replaced reverence, holiness, and the fear of the Lord. 1:12:00 – Doctrines Babylon wants silenced Holiness, repentance, judgment, spiritual warfare (rightly understood), the sovereignty of Christ, and separation from the world. 1:16:00 – Co-opting clergy: prestige, platforms, money & media How Babylon uses publishing, media, influence, and economics to pressure pastors to avoid controversial truth and protect "the machine." 1:21:00 – Debt structures and analytics-driven sermons Stories of massive church overhead, the temptation to preach what keeps offerings high, and the danger of corporate thinking in ministry. 1:26:00 – Political courtship and religious compromise The trap of trying to gain legitimacy through political power instead of maintaining a prophetic witness that confronts kings and systems. 1:30:00 – Higher criticism, liberal theology, and demythologizing Scripture How treating the Bible like mere literature drains the supernatural and opens the door to Babylonian thinking. 1:34:00 – Marks of Babylonian theology in the Church Universalism, lawlessness (antinomianism), Gnosticism, man-centered religion, hybrid mysticism, and moral relativism. 1:39:00 – Babylon's endgame: replacing the bride with the harlot Proverbs and Revelation's two women: the pure bride and the whore of Babylon; Babylon's goal to transform the visible church into a one-world religious system. 1:44:00 – How the remnant resists Babylon Biblical literacy and theological depth Holiness and separation Discerning of spirits rooted in the fear of the Lord Seeing the Bible as a war book from Genesis 1 Kingdom identity over cultural identity Prophetic voice over prophetic performance 1:51:00 – Suffering well, covenant faithfulness, and coming judgment Why suffering for truth is part of our calling and how God will reward faithful servants as Babylon is judged. 1:56:00 – 2026–2027: days ahead and God's remnant Dr. Lake's view that things will get "interesting" in 2026–2027 and his prayer that listeners stand firmly in the Kingdom when the dust settles. 2:00:00 – Final exhortation: "Come out of her, My people" Revelation 18:4, a call to separate from Babylon so we do not share in her plagues, and a closing prayer for the remnant to be established in the Kingdom.

Allie opens the week fired up, drawing eerie parallels between 2020's BLM-fueled chaos and today's anti-ICE protests. She exposes the manufactured outrage, media double standards, and toxic empathy that shield criminals while demonizing law enforcement and Christians. Allie digs into why liberal women — especially Gen Z white progressive women — fall hardest for these traps, channeling misplaced mothering instincts into activism and politics instead of children, leading to bitterness, instability, and selective empathy. She breaks down the viral article “Why Young Women Moved Left While Young Men Stayed Sane” by Vittorio, citing data on the growing gender-political divide, social media's consensus engine, university echo chambers, declining marriage and motherhood priorities, and women's higher agreeableness, making them more susceptible to propaganda. This is a no-nonsense call to critical thinking, discernment, and biblical clarity.
