Podcasts about Discernment

Connection matters deeply — and yet for many of us, it's never felt more confusing. In this solo episode, Dr. Alison explores the tension many people are navigating right now: how to stay open and loving toward others without losing clarity, discernment, or yourself. Many of us were taught that love means endless accommodation, that boundaries are unkind, or that distance equals failure. Others, weary of being hurt, find themselves pulling back — unsure how to stay connected without feeling drained or unsafe. This episode sits right in the middle of that tension. Rather than offering formulas or quick fixes, Dr. Alison invites listeners to slow down and notice what's happening beneath the surface of relationships — especially the ones that feel confusing, heavy, or hard to interpret. If you've found yourself asking: How do I stay loving without losing myself? How do I know when to lean in — and when to pause? What does discernment look like in real, imperfect relationships? This conversation creates space to reflect without pressure to decide everything right away. More Resources:

This week, Jake and Bob reflect on a few topics that were discussed during a recent "Holy Desire" Priest's retreat with the JPII Healing Center. They discuss the connection between communion with God and the removal of pain, how woundedness redirects good desires, and why coping strategies are not usually virtuous. Jake and Bob also answer a few questions received from priests at the retreat, such as—Am I using wounds as an excuse for sin? What is the difference between soul ties and enmeshment? And should I share my wounds with my parents?   Key Points: Healing is best understood as an ongoing encounter with God's love that restores communion and is not simply the removal of pain. Pain relief can be a fruit of healing, but it should never become the primary goal over intimacy with God. Broken communion is the reason we experience pain. Wounds often lead us to develop maladaptive responses that we mistakenly elevate into "virtues." Holy desires naturally draw us toward love and communion with God and others. When wounds and vows press down on holy desires, those desires often emerge sideways as disordered desires. Disordered desires are not evil at their core but are distorted expressions of something originally good. Enmeshment reflects a lack of healthy differentiation and often develops within family systems. Soul ties are distorted bonds that form through sin, wounds, or misplaced dependency. Learning to recognize the good desire beneath another's behavior transforms how we relate to them. Love grows when we respond to a person's holy desire rather than reacting to their maladaptive behavior. Discernment, timing, and freedom of heart are essential when considering sharing one's wounds with parents.   Resources: Principles of Catholic Theology by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger Holy Desire Workbook (In the dropdown menu select the "Workbook" as the type) Rick and Dick Hoyt Video Deadly Wounds and Holy Desires Chart   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 06:34 What does "I Experienced Healing" Mean? 13:40 Can the Way I Cope with a Wound Actually be a Virtue? 18:42 How are Disordered Desires Formed? 29:36 How Do I Find the Holy Desire Behind My Sin? 35:55 Am I Treating Woundedness as an Excuse for Sin? 42:54 What is the Difference Between a Soul Tie and Enmeshment? 51:07 Should I Share My Wounds with My Parents?   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we keep walking out what we're calling the 2:6 Life - Anyone who claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6). And today we go straight into a tension a lot of us feel after deconstruction, church hurt, or betrayal:How do you protect your heart…without closing it off completely?Because for many of us, cynicism starts to feel like wisdom. It promises we won't be surprised again, disappointed again, or fooled again. But over time, cynicism doesn't just guard the wound—it can quietly starve the heart: connection, wonder, curiosity, hope.So we talk about the difference between:Discernment vs. distancingWise boundaries vs. emotional retreatSelf-protection vs. staying tenderAnd we get super practical with real-life examples—how cynicism shows up in relationships, leadership, church spaces, and even the way we interpret “good” stories. We also give a few ways to stay tender without being naive—because tenderness isn't fragility… it's availability (with boundaries).If you've ever felt yourself growing colder, pulling back, or assuming the worst just to stay safe… this one's for you.00:00 - Welcome to Two Pastors and a Mic (Episode 264)00:46 - The 2:6 Life Theme: Living Like Jesus (1 John 2:6)01:33 - Quick Recap: Deconstruction + Feeling Stuck02:09 - Today's Topic: Protect Your Heart Without Closing It03:10 - Cynicism vs Tenderness: The Heart Posture Tension04:37 - Why Cynicism Creeps In After Church Hurt05:50 - Discernment or Cynicism?

Why is discernment so often claimed, yet so rarely practiced? In this episode, we introduce 28 Days of Discernment and talk about why the Church struggles to separate truth from emotion, wisdom from reaction, and conviction from personal preference. We unpack how cultural pressure, comfort, and emotionalism have dulled spiritual clarity and why discernment matters now more than ever. This episode lays the foundation for a month-long invitation to slow down, listen carefully, and follow God with clarity and courage. Let's get into it. Connect With The Few!

In this February 4 episode of RattlerGator Report, JB White opens with candid reflections on health, clarity, and the challenges of staying grounded while navigating a nonstop news cycle. From there, the conversation moves into the difficulty of discernment in what he describes as a world flooded with competing narratives, distractions, and deliberate confusion. JB examines internal fractures within political and media circles, discusses factional influence surrounding President Trump, and shares strong perspectives on loyalty, strategy, and patience as Trump's second term agenda unfolds. The episode also touches on media personalities, propaganda traps, intelligence operations, and why emotional reactions can undermine long-term outcomes. Throughout the broadcast, JB emphasizes restraint, critical thinking, and trusting strategic execution over reactionary outrage, urging listeners to step back, assess motives, and avoid being pulled into manufactured divisions.

What does it actually mean to be wild in the modern world—and why does it matter so much for our health, identity, and sense of belonging? In this episode, I explore those questions and more with Daniel Vitalis, host of the TV series WildFed and a lifelong advocate for reconnecting with nature through food, place, and embodied experience.We dive deep into what wildness really is—not as a romantic ideal, but as a lived, practical relationship with the natural world. Daniel shares how wild foods offer more than just nutrition; they provide feedback, resilience, and a kind of intelligence that modern systems have largely stripped away. We talk about how convenience culture has distanced us from our instincts, our land base, and even our own hunger cues, and why reclaiming these relationships is essential for both personal and ecological health.This conversation also weaves through nervous system regulation, ancestral skills, and the quiet confidence that comes from direct experience—whether that's foraging, hunting, or simply learning to trust your own perception again. Daniel reflects on the responsibility that comes with sourcing food from the wild, the ethics of reciprocity, and how participation in nature changes the way we see ourselves as humans.If you've felt a pull toward something more grounded, more honest, and more alive—this episode is an invitation to listen to that signal. It's a reminder that wildness isn't something we've lost; it's something we can remember, one relationship at a time.Visit lukestorey.com/surthrival and use code LUKE to save 10%.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

In Episode 15 of Q After Hours, hosts Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid engage in a focused discussion on interpretation, responsibility, and the role of discernment within the broader Q conversation. The episode centers on how information is received, filtered, and acted upon, emphasizing the difference between curiosity and certainty. Alpha and Josh revisit core ideas around personal accountability, resisting emotional reactions, and avoiding the temptation to assign meaning where clarity has not yet emerged. The conversation also addresses how speculation, overconfidence, and misinterpretation can fracture understanding and distract from the deeper purpose of the movement. Throughout the episode, the hosts stress patience, humility, and the importance of grounding analysis in principle rather than impulse. Episode 15 serves as a recalibration, encouraging listeners to slow down, think critically, and recognize that interpretation itself carries responsibility, especially in moments of uncertainty.

What should parents do when public figures stir strong reactions, confusion, anger, fear, or frustration? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore a real world case from England where a teacher faced disciplinary action after showing political footage to older teens. Rather than taking a political stance, the conversation turns to a deeper parenting question: should teenagers be introduced to people and ideas that feel troubling or controversial? Dr. Kathy explains why shielding kids from difficult figures doesn't build maturity, but guided exposure does. Together, they unpack how discernment is formed through conversation, curiosity, humility, and relationship, not avoidance. Parents are encouraged to acknowledge what their kids already see, name emotional reactions honestly, and walk with them through anxiety or confusion when it arises. The episode also highlights the importance of parents modeling learning, sharing the books and thinkers that shape their own views, and explaining how they evaluate what's worth listening to. Grounded in Daniel 1, this conversation reminds families that God often forms wisdom not by isolation, but by engagement paired with conviction. When teens are given scaffolding instead of silence, they grow confident in their ability to think critically and live faithfully in a complex world.  

James Green shares the raw story behind his book Wounded Not Ruined—a conversation on masks in church culture, childhood trauma, depression, and the path of healing in Jesus.We talk about:-why “you can't heal who you pretend to be”-how silence turns trauma into identity-the three types of depression (clinical, circumstantial, spiritual)-why movement + sweat can be a practical weapon in the fight-Kintsugi (broken, restored, stronger) and the prodigal son: love outruns shame

A Faith-Centered Look at Natural Remedies, Discernment, and Common Sense If God designed plants to support and nourish the body, why do so many of us feel more comfortable trusting synthetic drugs than the things He created? In this episode, we gently explore that question and talk through simple, grounded ways to approach plant-based remedies without fear or overwhelm. This conversation is for Christian women who want clarity, peace, and faith-centered health wisdom — especially if you're tired of researching endlessly, second-guessing yourself, or feeling responsible for figuring everything out alone. My goal is to offer calm guidance rooted in faith, common sense, and respect for the body God created. Why Natural Remedies Can Feel So Overwhelming Many women don't avoid natural remedies because they don't care about their health. They avoid them because the information feels scattered, extreme, or contradictory. When something is unfamiliar, it can quickly feel unsafe — even when it comes from God's creation. Confusion often comes from trying to do too much at once, hearing strong opinions online, or feeling pressure to “get it right.” Plants as Part of God's Design Scripture reminds us that God is our healer, and creation reflects His wisdom. Plants have been used for nourishment, care, and support for generations. Natural remedies don't replace faith, nor do they require fear. Like anything else, they call for wisdom, discernment, and personal responsibility. A Closer Look at Commonly Used Plants In this episode, I share several plants that are often discussed in holistic health spaces and how many people use them in simple, everyday ways: Castor oil, often used externally for skin or joint support Frankincense and myrrh, historically valuable and still commonly used today Lemon balm (also called Melissa), frequently enjoyed as a calming tea Elderberry, widely known for immune support Cacao, a plant-based food many women notice supports mood and inflammation The goal isn't to do everything — it's to understand that small, thoughtful use can go a long way. How to Use Natural Remedies Wisely and Safely Natural doesn't mean careless. Wisdom still matters. Some helpful principles include: Choose reputable brands you trust Start with very small amounts Follow label instructions Be mindful of medical conditions or prescriptions If something feels unclear, it's okay to pause, pray, and seek guidance. Why Discernment Matters More Than Fear It's worth asking why we sometimes fear plants more than heavily processed foods or synthetic products. Discernment isn't about rejecting modern medicine or natural remedies. It's about understanding what we're using, why we're using it, and how it fits into a bigger picture of caring for our bodies with wisdom and humility. Episode Highlights 00:00 — Why natural remedies often feel confusing or unsafe 00:29 — When research fatigue and decision overload set in 01:19 — Castor oil and its long history of use 03:14 — Frankincense, myrrh, and their historical significance 04:13 — Lemon balm and calming plant-based teas 05:12 — Elderberry and immune-related research 06:08 — Cacao, inflammation, and mood support 07:34 — Addressing safety concerns with common sense 09:58 — Simple guidelines for using natural remedies wisely 12:26 — A personal story about learning boundaries the hard way 13:21 — Why many women stay stuck longer than they need to What I Hope You Take Away Natural remedies don't have to feel intimidating Starting small builds confidence and safety More isn't always better Discernment leads to peace, not pressure Faith-centered health decisions involve wisdom and responsibility If You're Feeling Stuck or Unsure Most women don't stay stuck because they don't care about their health. We often stay stuck because we keep carrying the same questions, uncertainty, and mental weight month after month.

As a Christian coach, I've wrestled with this question for years: Am I a Christian coach… or a coach who is a Christian?In this episode, Erica and I open an honest conversation about the tension many coaches feel around faith, integrity, and how explicitly to lead with our beliefs in our coaching work.We talk through two frameworks that have helped us personally and professionally:Faith-forward coaching and Faith-focused coaching. Neither approach is right or wrong—but each carries implications for our clients, our ethics, our messaging, and the kind of practice we're building.Rather than offering quick answers, we invite you into discernment. To notice where your faith currently sits in your work.To reflect on who you feel most alive serving. And to consider what integrity might look like if you stopped trying to please everyone.This conversation is especially for you if you care deeply about faith, want to coach ethically, and are learning how to show up fully and honestly in this season of your life and work.You don't have to decide this forever. You just have to listen for the invitation right now.FREE RESOURCES:Listen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

In this conversational “hangout” episode, Jane Morgan and Sarah Rathke invite listeners into a real-time catch-up—recorded Monday, January 26—because the collective intensity is loud right now and pretending it isn't there isn't helping. Sarah and Jane just keep coming back to the truth that we need to anchor the light. Jane shares a playful-but-profound experiment: going on a “date with Spirit” (yes, with a notebook), including an unexpected “celebrity spirit” moment that becomes less about proof and more about impact—did it fill her up, steady her, and bring her back to light? From there, the conversation goes deeper: What do we do with “darkness” (in the world and in the unseen)? Why some mediums don't talk about entities/demons at all—and why Sarah and Jane are choosing a more nuanced stance: just because they haven't experienced something doesn't mean it isn't real for someone else. They also share practical, body-based and energetics-based ways to recover when you're tuned into the fear, rage, uncertainty, and grief of the collective—plus why technology can feel “static” to the nervous system and energy field, and how to clear it fast. What You'll Hear in This Episode A simple, beautiful way to strengthen mediumship: “make a friendship with Spirit” Jane's “date with Spirit” + what to do when your logical brain yells “BS” The difference between working in high vibration (mediumship) vs. getting pulled into heavy energetic residue How trauma/addiction can create its own “energy field” that feels entity-like Signs you're “swamped” (fear, panic, anxiety) and how to reset quickly Practical tools: hands-on-body breathing, grounding + “as above, so below,” bubble-clearing, nature, water-blessing, and calling in angels A candid behind-the-scenes moment: podcast production strain, tech glitches, and why ratings/reviews matter Key Takeaways Impact matters. Whether an experience is “provable” isn't always the point—if it steadies you, opens you, and brings you back to love, that ripple is real. Discernment is the job right now. You can engage what's hard without living there—pause, check your state, choose your next input. Heavy energy can cling when you move too fast. Especially after intense readings or intense news cycles—clear your field before you jump to the next thing. Your body is your quickest reset button. Hands to chest + belly, breathe, drink water, get outside, come back into your senses. You can choose light without denying darkness. “Pretending it doesn't exist” isn't the solution; meeting it with grounded presence is. Ask for help (even if you feel silly). Prayer, angels, guides, ancestors, “higher power”—call it what you want. The act of reaching changes your state. Practical “Anchor the Light” Tools Mentioned Swamp-check: notice fear/panic/anxiety as a cue to pause and repair Hands on body: one hand on chest, one on belly, slow breath Bless/charge water: set intention before drinking (love, calm, clarity) Root + light column (“as above, so below”): earth connection + higher connection meeting in your core Clear the bubble/field: remove what isn't yours (breath, imagery, “vacuum,” “broom,” etc.), then call your energy back Nature as a reset: “Tree, fix me.” (Honestly.) Call in help: angels/ascended masters/Spirit team—especially when you're past your own capacity   “We have to grab every little straw of joy.” “The power… is awareness.” “We are being called to anchor the light… so that we can illuminate the darkness.” Can you be our angels?

Your butt is not about aesthetics. It is a longevity organ that directly impacts metabolism, brain optimization, resilience, and how long you stay strong as you age. In this episode, you'll learn why strength training and protein intake matter more than body fat percentage, how mitochondria drive human performance and recovery, and why building muscle protects your brain, stabilizes mood, and supports long-term longevity. This conversation reframes biohacking, anti-aging, and health from weight loss to muscle span, the length of time you live with strong, functional skeletal muscle. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Gabrielle Lyon, an accomplished physician and New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well, and author of the upcoming The Forever Strong Playbook, releasing January 27, 2026. Dr. Lyon pioneered the Muscle-Centric Medicine® approach, which places muscle at the center of disease prevention, metabolic health, and true vitality. She has trained elite athletes, military operatives, and public figures, while also living this philosophy at home as a mother of two with her husband, a retired Navy SEAL. Together, they break down why intermuscular fat may matter more than body fat percentage, how skeletal muscle drives insulin sensitivity and lowers inflammation, and why becoming physically stronger improves brain function and neuroplasticity. They explore protein needs across the lifespan, fasting, ketosis, carnivore-style nutrition, supplements, sleep optimization, and the real tradeoffs of GLP-1 drugs, including the risk of accelerated muscle loss if strength and protein are neglected. The conversation also covers mindset, hormesis, and why physical resilience creates emotional regulation and clearer decision-making in a world increasingly shaped by AI and convenience. This episode is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking human performance, longevity, mitochondria, neuroplasticity, nootropics, metabolism, functional medicine, anti-aging strategies, supplements, and living Smarter Not Harder, ideally with a cup of Danger Coffee in hand. You'll Learn: • Why your glutes and skeletal muscle are critical drivers of longevity and brain health • Why intermuscular fat can matter more than body fat percentage for metabolic dysfunction • How strength training improves neuroplasticity, cognition, and emotional resilience • Why protein needs increase with age and why outdated limits can hold you back • What GLP-1 drugs get right, where they fail, and how to protect muscle span • Why progressive stimulus beats lifting heavy for long-term strength and injury prevention • How sleep optimization and recovery support mitochondria and human performance • How building muscle creates clarity, resilience, and better decision-making Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In this episode, we welcome Alisa Childers back to the show. She is a former Contemporary Christian Music recording artist turned Christian Apologist. She's an outspoken opponent of “Progressive Christianity”. She is the author of “Another Gospel?” and “The Deconstruction of Christianity”. In this interview, we discuss how there is ongoing crisis of discernment, her read of the growing popularity of conspiracy theorists like Candace Owens that do not provide an evidentiary basis for their claims, the downstream consequences of feminism, the looming crisis of Christian Conservative men not being able to find Christian Conservative women, the impact that the Charlie Kirk assassination has had on the public, when Christians seem to root for certain people to go to hell, how we can place our preferences and feelings under the Word of God, and much more.

It is about building strength as a lifelong responsibility and understanding why skeletal muscle is the foundation of health, resilience, and independence across the lifespan.Dr. Lyon introduces the Forever Strong ethos and walks through the four foundational pillars that support a strong life: how to think, how to eat, how to move, and how to recover.

She reframes longevity through the lens of muscle span, the length of time a person lives with healthy, functional skeletal muscle, and explains how physical strength supports metabolic health, emotional regulation, and cognitive resilience.This episode is an invitation to step out of confusion and into a clear framework for living with intention.

What if spiritual growth isn't about belief, manifestation, or bypassing reality — but about understanding how reality actually works? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sarah Elkhaldy, mystic, teacher, and host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia, for a clear, rigorous conversation about free will, karma, destiny, and spiritual evolution. Sarah explains how ancient mystery teachings were designed to initiate real changes in consciousness, not to comfort or inspire. Together, they explore how free will operates between fate and karma, what sovereignty truly requires, and why responsibility is central to spiritual growth. This conversation bridges mysticism and natural law, offering a grounded framework for understanding evolution beyond spiritual aesthetics. They also discuss the concept of homo luminous, the next stage of human evolution, and why presence in the simplest moments can become a profound initiation when awareness is fully engaged. Throughout the episode, Emily and Sarah examine discernment, embodiment, and why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcomes. This episode is for anyone who feels called to move beyond inspiration and into a deeper understanding of how consciousness evolves through choice, presence, and responsibility. Key Moments 00:00:00 — Free will, fate, and karma explained through natural law 00:03:40 — What mystery teachings were actually designed to do 00:07:14 — Free will as the space between destiny and karma 00:12:50 — Childhood mysticism, imagination, and early initiation 00:16:04 — Presence as spiritual practice (the tea teaching) 00:19:22 — Human evolution and the concept of homo luminous 00:24:58 — Why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcome 00:31:10 — Discernment, responsibility, and conscious initiation 00:38:40 — What sovereignty actually requires in daily life 00:46:15 — Integrating mystery teachings in the modern world 00:54:30 — Embodiment, service, and living the teachings 01:01:40 — Closing reflections on evolution, choice, and awareness Where This Work Continues If this conversation resonated, especially around sovereignty, discernment, and embodied awareness, this is the kind of inquiry explored inside Ziva Level 3. Level 3 is an advanced mastermind focused on integration, responsibility, and living these teachings in real life, with immersive experiences and pilgrimage work in Greece.

This week, explore what it means to live and lead with truth that can be trusted. In a culture shaped by reaction, urgency, and "truth-ish" sound bites, they reflect on discernment as a spiritual practice rooted in relationship with Jesus, not impulse or opinion. This conversation invites leaders and congregations to recover holy pause, reflect deeply, and live up to the name Christian by embodying truth with integrity, humility, and grace.

If you've ever worried about how the digital world is shaping girls…If you've ever wondered whether technology could actually build confidence instead of tearing it down…If you believe leadership starts long before someone ever earns a title…This conversation is for you.In this episode of ABC To CEO: Preparing for the Possibility, founder Sharon Fiehler speaks with Juliette Blake, founder and CEO of Moxies — a digital platform designed to help girls thrive online while protecting their confidence, well-being, and sense of self.Together, Sharon and Juliette explore why discernment is one of the most important skills girls can develop early, how engagement-driven technology quietly erodes confidence, and what it takes to lead with clarity and conviction in an industry that often rewards the opposite.This isn't a conversation about apps.It's a conversation about courage, responsibility, and the choices adults are making today that shape girls' confidence — and future leadership — tomorrow.At ABC To CEO, we believe leadership is built long before a title is earned.This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence, self-trust, and intentional decision-making are foundational skills for future CEOs — and they start forming far earlier than most people realize.

Show NotesKeywords: discernment, decision-making, trust, wisdom, clarity, pressure, faith, guidance, spiritual growth, prayerSummary - In this episode, Ms. G emphasizes the significance of discernment in decision-making. She discusses how discernment goes beyond making good choices, highlighting its role in recognizing what is truly right versus what merely feels right. Ms. G addresses the pressures that can cloud our judgment and the importance of slowing down to seek clarity through prayer and reflection. She encourages listeners to trust in God during their decision-making processes, emphasizing that discernment requires honesty and patience.TakeawaysDiscernment is essential for making life-shaping decisions.Not everything that feels right is aligned with God's will.Pressure can hinder our ability to discern wisely.Slowing down allows for spiritual clarity and reflection.Prayer is a vital tool for seeking wisdom in decisions.Honesty with ourselves is crucial in the discernment process.Trusting God means choosing faith over fear.Timing is key in decision-making; waiting can be preparation.Staying connected to God sharpens our discernment.Choosing clarity, wisdom, and faith leads to peace in decision-making.The Power of Discernment in Decision-MakingNavigating Life's Choices with Clarity"Slowing down is spiritual.""Waiting isn't wasting time.""Move with wisdom and trust God."

Are our kids actually becoming less capable thinkers, and if so, why does that matter? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore growing concerns about children's cognitive development, drawing on research from cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath. Together, they examine how increased screen use, especially in classrooms, may be reshaping how kids reason and learn. But this conversation goes deeper than test scores or IQ. Dr. Kathy reframes intellect as a muscle, one that fuels discernment, freedom, creativity, and wise decision making. They discuss why intelligence must be understood locally and relationally, not just nationally or digitally, and how parents can nurture thinking hearts by inviting kids into conversation, problem solving, boredom, and responsibility. Grounded in Solomon's prayer for a discerning heart, this episode reminds parents that raising intellectually capable kids isn't about academic pressure; it's about forming wise, free people who can love God with their minds and live faithfully in the world they're called to serve.

Season 8: Episode 4- DISCERNMENTSeason 8 continues and the mission is simple but serious:VISION. FIXED. FOR '26.Because when vision slips, momentum stalls.When focus fractures, progress slows.And when we stop seeing clearly, we start settling quietly.This season isn't about hype it's about alignment.It's about recalibrating your sight, realigning with God's original intent, and refusing to move another step without clarity.We are locking in on what matters.Letting go of distractions disguised as opportunities.And demolishing every last blur that's been keeping us busy but not becoming.No more fuzzy faith.No more double vision decisions.No more walking with purpose but looking in the wrong direction.

2 Thessalonians #3 2 Thessalonians 2:6-12 In 2 Thessalonians 2:6-12, Paul warns of a coming deception and the rise of the man of lawlessness, restrained only by God’s sovereign hand. This sermon explores how lawlessness is not just a future figure, but a present danger when truth is rejected. We’re called to discernment, endurance, and a deep love for the truth as we await Christ’s ultimate victory.

This week on the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Nate Wright, Dr. Joe Boot, and Dr. Michael Thiessen review Russell Brand’s remarks at TPUSA’s AmericaFest and reflect on what they reveal about public faith, repentance, and cultural renewal. They discuss the twin dangers Christians often fall into with celebrity conversions—either uncritically platforming new believers or cynically dismissing their professions of faith—and argue for a biblically grounded middle road marked by discernment, prayer, and patience. The conversation highlights Brand’s emphasis on repentance, his critique of statism, and his growing vision for Christian culture that avoids both pietistic retreat and forced political triumphalism. Ultimately, the episode points beyond personalities to the real hope of cultural reformation: transformed people, faithful discipleship, and the advancing kingdom of Christ.

Most believers underestimate how powerful spiritual discernment really is in the marketplace. I explain why hearing God clearly gives Christians an advantage others simply do not have, helping them ask the right questions, solve the right problems, and avoid costly mistakes. When you learn how to combine wisdom, humility, and spiritual sensitivity, you stop reacting to pressure and start leading with confidence and clarity wherever God has placed you.   Podcast Episode 2004: How Discernment Gives Believers a Marketplace Edge | don't miss this!
