Podcasts about Discernment

We reacted to the best (and worst!) advice you shared about navigating your twenties. From finding faith-filled mentors to practical hacks like travel credit cards, we covered it all—yes, even a slightly controversial convo about giving up a dog. We laughed, we disagreed, and we got real about everything from building community to trusting God's voice in seasons of uncertainty. Whether we're looking back on our twenties or walking through them now, this episode reminded us how important it is to stay rooted in Jesus, go all in with our people, and keep saying yes to what He's doing.

Raising Deborahs & Defending the Word: Spiritual Warfare for the Last Days | KIB 501 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this Feast of Tabernacles episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (KIB 501), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake call the remnant to the Word and the War—urging believers to return to a physical Bible, cultivate a warfare worldview, and pray for strong women of faith to rise like Deborah and Esther (and for redeemed Rahabs and Tamars to step boldly into God's plan). We unpack why everything is spiritual warfare, how the Word of God births, cleanses, protects, heals, and equips, and why Psalm 22 stands as a stunning fulfilled prophecy of Messiah's crucifixion.

Thought to share? Send me a text...In this episode, we trace how confident-sounding rules and secret knowledge can pull us from the center of faith, then anchor ourselves in Colossians 2 where Paul calls us back to Jesus as the true source. We explore legalism, licentiousness, spiritual disciplines, and practical steps for discernment shaped by Scripture and the Spirit.• the pull of persuasive but inaccurate teaching• Paul's warning to the Colossians about shadows vs Christ• legalism defined and contrasted with grace• licentiousness as abusing God's grace• practices as disciplines, not requirements for worth• how to test teachings with Scripture, counsel, and conviction• the Spirit as wisdom and the church's growth from the Head• courage to resist spiritual bullying and walk in freedomIf you'd like to dive deeper into this teaching, I encourage you to download the Companion Guide Part 2.

Church Life, “Are You a Good Berean?”                                     (Acts 17:10-15)  The Right Mind (vv. 10-11)Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. - Charles Spurgeon -  Heb. 5:12-14 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.  Ro. 15:4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. The Right Heart (v. 12) The Right Mission (vv. 13-15)How to Develop Wisdom and Discernment (through God's means of grace):1.     Seek God in the word (be a good Berean)2.     Seek God in prayer (Ja. 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.)3.     Seek God in the fellowship of the local church (‘iron sharpens iron')

Send us a textProsperity slogans promise “dump trucks” of blessing, but we take a hard look at Luke 6:38 and ask what Jesus actually meant. Instead of turning generosity into a transaction, we trace how sowing to the Spirit produces spiritual fruit—and how that fruit shows up in real life: lights back on for a struggling family, a gas tank filled so a wife can reach her husband's hospital room, and a quiet prayer that outlasts applause. We talk about the joy of seeing needs met and the freedom of giving without fanfare, where the measure we use is mercy, not marketing.We also press into stewardship that goes beyond money. Time and attention belong to God; so does our study of Scripture. If we don't invest in the Word, how will we counsel a friend in crisis or anchor our households in truth? We challenge church cultures that build dynasties, hide budgets, or welcome campaign speeches to the pulpit. Healthy communities raise up new voices, model transparency, and keep the kingdom distinct from partisan agendas. Christ's pattern leads the way: though rich, He became poor so that by His poverty we might become rich—rich in love, unity, and care, not in vanity metrics.Discernment matters, too. What about people who manipulate generosity or try to guilt us because we're Christians? We share practical boundaries: ask clear questions, prefer tangible help over cash when wise, pray for guidance, and trust God to see what's done in secret. The invitation is simple and demanding: pick one act of service each week—visit, deliver, encourage, provide—and let doctrine grow feet. If this conversation stirs you, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about authentic generosity, and leave a review telling us one small act you'll commit to this week. We'd love to hear how you're sowing to the Spirit.Support the show

Friends, welcome back to the Hardcore Self Help Podcast. This is my first interview back after a bit of a journey. I thought there was no better way to kick off this next phase of the podcast than by introducing you to a friend and brilliant human that I met in the interim. Dr. Amy Andrea Martinez is a professor of sociology with a focus on Chicano gang culture, incarceration, and abolition. She is a total badass, and she gets vulnerable about her experiences in this conversation. We discuss how her younger brother's arrest, the development of her identity as a Xicana woman, her experiences with depression and suicidality, and her decision to build armor around her heart this year before diving back into the heart of academia and book-writing. I really hope you enjoy this one.

Ep. 203 (Part 2 of 2) | In this rich, delightful, and profound conversation, Integral Theory informed Father David McCallum, SJ, currently serving the Catholic Church as executive director of the Program for Discerning Leadership, leads us into a world filled with mission, purpose, and service, foundational to which is the practice of discernment. David describes discernment as the capacity to exercise good judgment, hold complexity, and wait for clarity. This is not only a practice for individuals, he explains, but also a communal one, providing a way for communities to discern and design together the future they want to create—through listening, dialoguing, participating. Discernment is a way of knowing and making sense of reality, David continues, and especially important now in this era of changes and choices to be made.David enlightens us as to the beautiful and far-sighted reforms proposed by the late Pope Francis, who was all for changing the balance of authority and participation in the Church; for people to have direct experience of Presence and the capacity to practice discernment; who also advocated for taking swift action on behalf of our planet, even calling out the part in the Bible that says man has dominion over the Earth. From David's description of “the journey worth making”—surrendering, opening, accepting divine grace and love—to using Otto Scharmer's U Process to help find the courage to change and simplify our lives for the benefit of all, to the Church's relationship with A.I., David provides us with an extraordinarily mind-broadening, motivating, and spiritually fulfilling perspective.

Perhaps you've felt the heavy weight of regret—those “would've, could've, should've” moments that whisper lies and leave you feeling responsible for things you could never control. In this episode of Raising Fatherless Kids, Lori unpacks the crucial difference between conviction from the Holy Spirit and condemnation from the enemy. Understanding this distinction changes everything.Conviction leads us to restoration, hope, and freedom in Christ. Condemnation leaves us in shame, despair, and fear. The good news? God is our Redeemer. He restores, rescues, and makes all things new.Understanding the difference between conviction and condemnation, and why it matters for healing.Recognizing conviction as the kindness of God that leads to repentance, freedom, and life.Identifying condemnation as the enemy's voice that accuses without hope and keeps us stuck in guilt.Remembering God's sovereignty over life and death which brings peace in the midst of regret.Key Takeaways:Scripture References: John 16:8 • Romans 2:4 • Psalm 103:10, 4 • 2 Corinthians 7:10 • Romans 8:1 • Revelation 12:10 • Job 19:25If you missed Part One in this series, Regret Meets Redemption, be sure to go back and listen. And join us next week for Part Three, when Lori shares how to help your children walk through their own regrets with the truth that Christ is Redeemer.

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. *This episode was recorded on Friday 10/3*Why does it seems that more and more Christians are being persuaded to join in with mockers and scoffers? There are far greater reasons Christians ought to seek the truth. Those reasons don't involve cracking a conspiracy case. It involves being prepared to discern against deceptions far greater. Paul, in Ephesians 6, highlights an aspect of the Christians armor against spiritual warfare - the belt of truth. Being fastened with truth doesn't mean you've picked a particual side in any given argument. It does however mean that you won't be assigned a side by mockers who dare you to continue to seek what is true. In this episode, I (Brandon) address the reason why it seems like I'm defending Candace Owens so fervently. I breakdown the fallacy of dismissing someone merely because you've been told to dismiss them. Also, are people being genuine regarding their critiques of Candace?

Do you ever feel like Bible reading has become routine? Maybe life’s distractions, spiritual fatigue, or lack of inspiration have dulled your passion for God’s Word. But Scripture reminds us that “the word of God is living and active” (Hebrews 4:12)—it’s not just words on a page, but a divine conversation meant to transform our hearts. Joe Navarro, known online as @joechristianguy encourages us in today's prayer and devotional to approach the Bible not as a chore, but as a gift from our loving Father. By asking God to renew our desire for His Word, experimenting with new ways of study, and remembering that Scripture is for transformation, not just information, we can rediscover joy in meeting God daily through His truth. Main Takeaways God’s Word is living and active—it has power to refresh our weary souls. Prayer is the starting point: ask God to rekindle your hunger for Scripture. Changing your approach—like trying a new translation, using audio Bible, or joining a group—can spark renewed excitement. Bible study is not just about knowledge, but about transformation. Delight, not obligation, is what God desires for us as we engage His Word. Bible Verse References Hebrews 4:12 – God’s Word is living and active.

Bible Verse of the Day: "For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." – Hebrews 4:12 How Is the Word of God Living and Active? (Hebrews 4:12) Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that Scripture is not just ink on a page but a living, active force in the lives of believers. Unlike human words or philosophies, God’s Word is constantly at work—penetrating, discerning, and transforming us. The imagery of a “two-edged sword” underscores Scripture’s precision. It cuts deep, revealing hidden motivations and exposing the true state of our hearts. Nothing is beyond its reach—not our thoughts, not our intentions, not even the parts of us we try to keep hidden. This verse also carries both comfort and challenge. Comfort, because God’s Word brings life, direction, and encouragement. Challenge, because it confronts us with truth, reminding us that nothing is hidden from God’s gaze. The call is clear: approach His Word with humility, letting it shape us into people who live in step with His will. Daily Meditation God’s Word is alive, speaking across all times and cultures. It penetrates beyond outward behavior, reaching our deepest thoughts and motives. Scripture is an instrument of both encouragement and correction. Through the Word, we encounter God’s presence and align with His purposes. Let’s Pray Father, I come to You honestly—sometimes my heart feels distant, and my excitement for Your Word fades beneath the weight of life’s distractions. But I know Your Word is living and powerful, and I long for that closeness again. Please rekindle a deep passion within me to seek You through Scripture. Open my eyes to see the beauty, truth, and life in every page. Stir my spirit with fresh hunger to know You more and to treasure Your voice above all else. Lord, forgive me for the times I’ve treated Your Word casually or out of routine. Help me approach it with awe and expectation, knowing that You are ready to speak each time I open my Bible. Let my heart burn with joy and wonder as I encounter You in new ways. Teach me to delight in Your truth and to let it transform me daily.In Jesus’ name, Amen.

This conversation dives into spirituality, discernment, and consciousness—from navigating encounters with ETs and energy realms to maintaining grounding in the age of AI. Ultimately, Seth reminds listeners that transformation begins by slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and following your inner vision to live your highest truth.

In session 4, we look at guardrails we need to put in place and resources that can help raise our children to walk wisely in a world of technology.

Speaker | Dr. Jim Bradford JEREMIAH: About our Discernment Sunday October 5, 2025 Sermon Slides | YouVersion

In this powerful message, we're reminded that God is preparing His church for what's ahead—and it starts with our hearts. Too often we get caught up in the duty of ministry rather than the relationship with Jesus. But when we draw close to Him, we gain the sensitivity and discernment we'll need in these times. Through the story of Paul and the damsel with the spirit of divination in Acts 16:16–18, we see the importance of spiritual discernment. The Church must once again be grieved by what grieves the Holy Spirit and learn to judge—not the flesh—but the spirits, in love and truth. From Hebrews 5:13–14 to 1 Corinthians 12:1, this teaching calls believers to grow from spiritual milk to strong meat—to develop the maturity needed to discern both good and evil. True discernment is not just a gift; it's a responsibility for every believer walking closely with the Word and the Spirit. When we know the Word and walk with the Holy Spirit, we can clearly hear His voice, recognize His leading, and move in obedience. Sometimes discernment says be still, and sometimes it says go. Either way, God is placing His people where they need to be for His purpose. Scripture References: Acts 16:16–18 | Hebrews 5:13–14 | 1 Corinthians 12:1 | Hebrews 4:12 | John 16:13

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Christians find themselves in a challenging situation. On one hand, he was a man who openly proclaimed Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. On the other hand, his memorial was marred by the presence of false teachings, Catholicism, and political influences. While it's crucial to discuss the conspiracy surrounding his assassination, Christians living in these challenging times need to rely on discernment and a strong biblical foundation for their beliefs. This sermon, delivered at Suncoast Baptist Church, challenges your perspectives and encourages you to seek biblical guidance. Bring your Bible and prepare for a thought-provoking experience. @RealCharlieKirk  @DonaldJTrumpforPresident  @robertfkennedyjrofficial  @TedCruzChannel  @TuckerCarlson  @sbcpalmetto  @finalfightbibleradio9827 ​Support the show

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. This episode started off as an episode on the conspiracy debates and slander tossed toward those who engage in them. Though we eventually get to the crux of the conversation (Minute 50), we began our episode reflecting on the last 200 episodes of Black and Blurred and how this podcast started. We also reflected on the ministry of Pastor Voddie Baucham and his influence on many believers today. In the latter half of this lengthy episode, we dive into the banter around Candace Owens, her work and the slander towards her that seems to just roll off of the lips of those who have no connection to her. How should Christians view the work of someone like Candace Owens? Is she a psyop? Is she a liar? Is she out to make money off of gossip and confusion? How should Christians think about these "conspiracy theories" in general? Is there a place in the Christian mind for entertaining the possibility of such great deception? Walk with us and hear our thoughts on why you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss those the world tells you to. SHOW NOTESSupport the showHosts: Brandon and Daren Smith Learn of Brandon's Church Planting CallPatreon: www.patreon.com/blackandblurredPaypal: https://paypal.me/blackandblurredYouTube: Black and Blurred PodcastIG: @BlackandBlurredPodcastX: @Blurred_Podcast

Every leader takes hits—but maturity is learning which ones to absorb and which ones to address. In this episode of Student of Life, we look at how Jesus modeled restraint and discernment under pressure. Sometimes He took the hit and moved on. Other times, He spoke up and confronted what needed to change. True leadership isn't about avoiding conflict—it's about knowing when to take the lick and when to take a stand.Student of Life Guide: “Taking Licks: The Maturity of Leadership”Key Idea: Mature leadership is knowing when to absorb a hit and when to take a stand. Jesus showed that true strength isn't found in reacting—it's found in responding with wisdom and restraint.3 Big InsightsYou can't lead without taking hits. Leadership invites misunderstanding, but maturity guards your response.Discernment is key. Jesus knew when to endure and when to confront. Both required courage.Maturity chooses purpose over pride. Every reaction reveals who's really in control—you or your emotions.Reflection QuestionsWhat “lick” am I still carrying that God might be using to mature me?How do I decide when to confront vs. when to move on?What does it look like to respond in the Spirit instead of reacting in the flesh?Application (Next Step)This week, when criticism or conflict hits, pause and ask: “Is this something I need to absorb or address?”Journal your decision and what it revealed about your maturity.Anchor Thought“Jesus didn't take every hit personally—He took it purposefully.”

Show Notes:Suffering and pain are part of life. We all struggle with finding meaning in our suffering and the suffering of others. We all need help finding hope and encouragement in dark times, and one place we can find that hope is in prayer. It's through prayer that we stand alongside our suffering friends and neighbors to offer them our attention and empathy. Prayer connects each of us in ways that can transform the world.Dr. Sarah Coakley is an Anglican priest, systematic theologian, and philosopher of religion.

Ep. 202 (Part 1 of 2) | In this rich, delightful, and profound conversation, integralist Father David McCallum, SJ, currently serving the Vatican as executive director of the Program for Discerning Leadership, leads us into a world filled with mission, purpose, and service, foundational to which is the practice of discernment. David describes discernment as the capacity to exercise good judgment, hold complexity, and wait for clarity. This is not only a practice for individuals, he explains, but also a communal one, providing a way for communities to discern and design together the future they want to create—through listening, dialoguing, participating. Discernment is a way of knowing and making sense of reality, David continues, and especially important now in this era of changes and choices to be made.David enlightens us as to the beautiful and far-sighted reforms proposed by the late Pope Francis, who was all for changing the balance of authority and participation in the Church; for people to have direct experience of Presence and the capacity to practice discernment; who also advocated for taking swift action on behalf of our planet, even calling out the part in the Bible that says man has dominion over the Earth. From David's description of “the journey worth making”—surrendering, opening, accepting divine grace and love—to using Otto Scharmer's U Process to help find the courage to change and simplify our lives for the benefit of all, to the Church's relationship with A.I., David provides us with an extraordinarily mind-broadening, motivating, and spiritually fulfilling perspective. Recorded July 10, 2025.“No secular, material, and empirical path is going to satisfy the longing we have for a transcendent purpose, for meaning, for existential belonging, in the ways that a healthy spirituality can.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing Fr.

Do you attend ceremonies, festivals, spiritual gatherings or community events? If so, this episode is a must for you! Just because an event uses spiritual language or addresses spiritual topics doesn't mean it is held as a solid container. Events like this are often porous portals, with many people attending from all points on the spiritual path. Indiscriminate invocations, substance use, chaotic collective fields and concentrated gatherings can often lead to overwhelm, exhaustion, fatigue, unintentionally processing other people's energy, leaky boundaries and energetic or entity attachments.Does this mean you shouldn't attend spiritual gatherings? Absolutely not. Michelle and Katherine offer practical tools, awarenesses and advice for how to safely attend and enjoy spiritual gatherings while staying grounded, protected and anchored in your body and energy field.

What does the energy of October hold for YOU? To answer that question I picked THREE oracle cards just for YOU, and I didn't get a message just for October…I got a message for the final quarter of 2025! In this episode, I share the three oracle cards I picked just for YOU from three of my favorite oracle card decks, and weave together the THEME for this month AND for the rest of 2025!  These cards reflect the shift in energy that began at the Equinox and are inviting us to utilize the final quarter of the year to clear the way for a miraculous 2026!   Key Learnings: 1) The energy shift began at the Solstice continues through the Equinox and will continue through the final quarter of the year. The first card I chose for you is the Narrow Pathway card, which asks us to narrow our focus and be mindful about how we spend our time and energy. Slow and steady progress is the way. Discernment is the theme of this card, and trusting your intuition. 2) The second card is Dakini – the Enlightened Feminine, which invites us to trust our intuition even more. This message advises to look beyond the duality of yes or no answers. This card says that success is assured for any endeavor, but not by following the intellect. 3) The last card is Archangel Muriel and the message is ‘Trust your own wisdom. Have faith in your psychic impressions.' This card honors your sensitivity and asks you to do so as well, giving yourself time to grieve or feel whatever you are feeling. But after you do, to continue forward with confidence and TRUST your intuition   “The final quarter of the year asks us to go beyond duality and trust our inner wisdom.”   Click here to purchase the Sacred Traveler Oracle Card deck by Denise Linn Click here to purchase the Divine Feminine Oracle by Meggan Watterson Click here to purchase the Archangel Oracle Cards by Diana Cooper Click here to schedule an Intuitive Energy Breakthrough Session Click here to join the Magnify Your Miracles membership If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com

Send us a text In a culture that profits from our exhaustion and demands a hot take on everything, how do we stay with the real Jesus? This episode is a single-voice, honest walk through abiding and pace—moving from performance to participation, from hurry to the easy yoke. We name the pressure to react to every news cycle and every social wave, the chorus of second-hand “takes on Jesus,” and the stigma that calls burnout or confusion weakness. Along the way we practice stepping back toward God—not escaping life, but living within God-given limits—with lived scenes from the office, the kitchen, and the phone in your hand. Expect a grounded invitation to discern Jesus' voice, receive your limits as part of discipleship, be “late to a take,” and let belovedness set your pace. Quiet, practical, and deeply hopeful. Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia

Days of Awe & the Rhythm of the Kingdom: True Readiness, Not Date-Setting – KIB 499 Description In this Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake call the Remnant back into the rhythm of the Kingdom during the Days of Awe—away from hype, date-setting, and pagan substitutes.

This is a sober call to walk in sync with Jesus, close the doors to Babylon, and live ready.

Ryan wrestles with a piercing question sparked by Charlie Kirk's testimony: Are we actually called to purity—or is purity the assumed condition of a life on mission for Christ? Drawing from Kirk's own words about victory over pornography and Psalm 97:10, Ryan reframes purity not as an end in itself but as the necessary overflow of loving Jesus and pursuing His calling with focus.Topics DiscussedPurity vs. purpose: which is the calling and which is the conditionLessons from Charlie Kirk's testimony and focusThe danger of letting the “fight for purity” become a lifelong distractionPractical safeguards (accountability, tech tools) in their proper placePsalm 97:10 and hating evil as an expression of loving GodMoving from abstinence-mindset to satisfaction in ChristSimultaneously growing in purity while stepping into God's missionKey TakeawaysPurity is not the destination; it's the runway for a Spirit-led life on mission.A life that can “comfortably accommodate” impurity is misaligned with calling.Tools and accountability help, but transformation flows from loving Christ first.Get on mission now; don't postpone obedience until you feel “fully pure.”As love for Christ increases, purity increases—because there's more of you reserved for Him.Resources & LinksCharlie Kirk's original interview: ListenCovenant Eyes — accountability software for purityReady to download the Cord App?

Summary In this conversation, Joshua Stylman discusses the implications of AI on human connection, freedom, and societal structures. He expresses concerns about the potential loss of human sovereignty as technology integrates more deeply into our lives. The discussion also touches on the importance of discernment, community, and the need for individuals to reclaim their agency in an increasingly digital world. Stylman emphasizes the necessity of asking questions and seeking primary sources to navigate the complexities of modern life, particularly in relation to health and technology. Takeaways The balance between convenience and freedom is crucial. The Internet of Bodies poses significant ethical questions. Discernment is essential in the age of misinformation. Parents play a key role in guiding the next generation. Human sovereignty is at risk with technological advancements. We need to foster local relationships and support systems. Asking questions is more important than ever.  Resources Mentioned: Joshua Stylman's Substack One Dream on Instagram: @onedream.podcast — DM us your detox questions Follow The One Dream Podcast:

Ep 44 - Special EpisodeIs the current movement sweeping America a true spiritual revival—or something else entirely?In the wake of recent events, churches are packed, leaders are speaking Jesus' name, and talk of revival is everywhere. In this episode, we urge believers to pause and ask critical questions: Which Jesus are people proclaiming? Is this the gospel of the kingdom—or a gospel mixed with nationalism and politics?In this timely episode, they explore: ✅ Why "Jesus plus anything" equals nothing ✅ The difference between revival FOR God vs. OF God ✅ How to test the spirits in this cultural moment ✅ Why God is not American (and why that matters) ✅ The danger of confusing political movements with spiritual awakening ✅ What true repentance and revival actually look likeThis isn't about being cynical—it's about being discerning. We want to see genuine revival, but we must ensure people are meeting the real Jesus Christ, not a political figurehead or cultural Christianity.⚠️ Key Warning: Paul said if anyone preaches another gospel, let them be accursed (Galatians 1:8-9). When the gospel gets mixed with politics, nationalism, or any other agenda, it loses its power to save.

There is an increasing amount of social media and web content that is being shaped by Ai and paid influencers. Truth is becoming a function of perception. We have to become more discerning. Asking questions is an art of observation and common sense. As the information war continues to heat up, the methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated to control your thinking and your reality. Following the way of Christ and seeking the wisdom of Holy Spirit in all things slows you down, gives time for patterns to emerge, and allows us to reclaim dominion over ourselves in the midst of the informational chaos.  #BardsFM_Morning #TheWarForYourMind #Discernment Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com BardsFM CAP, Celebrating 50 Million Downloads: https://ambitiousfaith.net Morning Intro Music Provided by Brian Kahanek: www.briankahanek.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...
