What happens when Christians start chasing conspiracies instead of truth? Pastor Phil Hopper joins me for an honest conversation about Iran, the growing divide inside the conservative movement, the rise of the "woke right," and why biblical discernment matters now more than ever. We also talk about Israel, end times, and how followers of Christ can stand firm without living in fear.

In a world descending into moral insanity, believers must possess truth and discernment in an age of confusion to faithfully navigate culture. This compilation episode equips Christians to maintain a biblical worldview through presuppositional apologetics, warning against the dangers of culturally driven churches that prioritize human preference over Christ. By trusting the word of God and the absolute sufficiency of scripture, we can apply biblical truth to our daily lives and avoid the dangerous snare of speculating beyond what God has plainly revealed.

You know what's pretty f*cked up? Some of us don't sabotage our relationships by cheating... We sabotage them by settling. Press play and become the kind of person who stops abandoning herself for "good enough."   Remember, sharing is caring... send this to a friend who needs a reminder that they get to choose themselves, even if it makes other people uncomfortable.    PS.

Meditative Exercise: The Three Pots Metaphor for Discernment and GrowthHave you ever felt stuck, overlooked, or frustrated by a season that seems to lack visible progress?In this episode of The Heartlifter Way, Janell explores the wisdom of three simple terracotta pots—one empty, one sprouting, and one blooming—and how each stage reveals something essential about spiritual growth, discernment, and becoming.Building on Episodes 13 and 14, you'll discover why discernment is the practice of paying attention to God's invitations and how becoming is what happens as we respond to them over time. Through the lens of The Theology of Gentleness, Janell offers a refreshing perspective: what feels like being stuck may actually be a sacred season of preparation and formation.Because the gardener does not love the bloom more than the seed.And every stage belongs.

Principle of the Bondservant: Kingdom Activation of Remnant Ministries Series Part 2 | KIB536 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing   Description The Bondservant: The Missing Foundation of End-Time Ministry In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake continue laying the foundation for authentic remnant ministry in the last days. Before God can release believers into greater Kingdom assignments, foundational issues must be addressed—including healing from rejection, overcoming feelings of worthlessness, understanding our identity in Christ, and embracing the biblical principle of the bondservant. Mary Lou shares deeply personal insights regarding healing from trauma, overcoming lies spoken over her life, and discovering her true worth through the Word of God. She provides practical biblical keys for breaking free from rejection, shame, and fear of man. Dr. Lake then explores the often-forgotten biblical concept of the bondservant, revealing why every genuine ministry calling must begin with complete surrender to Christ. Drawing from Scripture, he explains the accountability believers have before God, the dangers of self-centered ministry, and why the remnant must remain faithful to the voice of the Master rather than the pressures of culture. As the days ahead grow increasingly challenging, God is preparing a people who know their identity, understand their authority, and are committed to serving King Jesus above all else. This message is essential for anyone seeking to walk faithfully with God, overcome past wounds, and prepare for Kingdom service in the days ahead.

Just because someone claims to be a “Christian” does not automatically make your home spiritually safe. When deliverance is not well understood, it creates confusion, blind spots, and hidden hindrances. Many seek deliverance, but true freedom requires more than casting out spirits. When inner healing is neglected, deliverance becomes incomplete — leaving the person spiritually vulnerable. We must understand the spiritual realm at hand because unhealed trauma, open doors, and unresolved battles create access points the enemy is eager to exploit. In this episode, we unpack how a Christian's unaddressed warfare can bring spiritual residue into your space, shifting the atmosphere and affecting the entire household and family dynamic!

We're celebrating PFN's birthday by shining a light on the partners who have been part of our journey toward people-first leadership, meaningful work, and purpose-driven impact. This special feature from The Shift with Mindy Honcoop and Marnie Robbins captures the heart of their work and the shared mission that brings us together. Enjoy! — Change is coming fast, and managers are feeling every ounce of it. Marnie and Mindy sit down with Ali Merchant, founder of All-In Manager and author of "The All-In Manager", to unpack what leaders are missing in the rush toward AI transformation. Ali brings a grounded, people-first perspective on why managers cannot keep being treated as the catch-all solution for engagement, transformation, culture, and performance without meaningful support. Together, they explore why AI adoption is not just a tech rollout, but a change management and culture challenge. From "modeling over mandates" to psychological safety, shadow AI, blameless retrospectives, and the power of discernment, this conversation is a practical reminder that the future of work still depends on deeply human leadership.   Additional Resources: Connect with Mindy on LinkedIn Connect with Marnie on LinkedIn Learn more about AltHR Listen to The Shift wherever you get your podcasts!

Jesus' teaching in Luke 6:37–38 may be one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible.What does it really mean to "judge not"? Does Jesus forbid discernment? Why do we find it so easy to excuse our own failures while condemning the failures of others?In this message from our Kingdom Way series, we explore how judgment, condemnation, forgiveness, and generosity reveal the true condition of our hearts. Jesus exposes our tendency to demand mercy for ourselves while withholding it from everyone else—and then invites us into a radically different way of living.The Kingdom of God is built on mercy, forgiveness, and grace. The question is: will we live that way?

Stuart & Cathy Greer | 6/21/2026

Solomon teaches that while life is often unpredictable and unfair, we are not called to sit still in fear but to live wisely and faithfully. He encourages generous giving, consistent habits, calculated risks, and trusting God with outcomes we cannot control, knowing that faithful choices often bear fruit over time. He also warns against letting anger, bitterness, and vexation take root, comparing them to a poison that slowly shapes the heart. Instead, believers are called to cultivate joy, gratitude, spiritual disciplines, and a heavenly perspective, choosing daily to bless others, reject resentment, and walk in wisdom despite life's uncertainties.

Every day, voices are presenting their case. Fear presents its case. Doubt presents its case. Culture presents its case. Success presents its case. Your past presents its case. Your wounds present their case. In Isaiah 41:21, God issues a remarkable challenge: "Present your case," says the Lord. In context, God is confronting the idols of the nations and exposing their inability to deliver what they promise. He challenges them to prove their authority, demonstrate their wisdom, and establish why anyone should trust them. The same question applies today. What voices are you listening to? What beliefs are shaping your decisions? What arguments are influencing your leadership, relationships, business, calling, and future? In this episode, Juliana explores: ✓ What Isaiah 41 reveals about truth, discernment, and spiritual maturity ✓ Why leaders must learn to examine the voices influencing them ✓ Common modern idols that quietly compete for our trust ✓ The stories fear, insecurity, offense, and scarcity try to sell us ✓ How to distinguish between cultural narratives and God's truth ✓ Why mature leaders don't believe every argument presented to them Because every day, something is asking for your agreement. The question isn't whether a case is being presented. The question is whether it's true. And when every competing voice has been examined, tested, and weighed, God's truth is still standing. "Present your case," says the Lord. "Bring forward your strongest arguments." — Isaiah 41:21 This episode will challenge you to examine what you're believing, what you're building your life upon, and which voices have earned the right to lead you.   If you're looking for deeper training and personal growth, Flight School applications are now open.

You work hard to make good decisions.You gather the data. Review the strategy. Listen to the experts.And yet sometimes something still feels off.The numbers say yes.The process says yes.The presentation is flawless.But your gut says no.That's because the leadership skill that matters most in an AI-powered world isn't another framework, productivity system, or communication technique.It's taste.Not aesthetic taste.Discernment.The ability to recognize what is genuinely excellent versus what is merely competent.The ability to see what will compound over time versus what simply looks good today.And in a world where AI can generate competent everything, that distinction may become the most valuable leadership asset you possess.In this episode, Fernanda explores why taste is actually a neurological capacity, how it's built through genuine encounters with excellence, and why leaders who develop discernment will hold an advantage that no technology can replicate. If you've ever found yourself: Feeling that something is wrong before you can explain why  Struggling to separate quality from noise  Wondering what human advantage remains in the AI era  Craving deeper thinking in a culture obsessed with speed  Making decisions that require judgment beyond data This episode will change how you think about leadership development.What You'll Learn Why taste is not preference, talent, or opinion  The leadership lesson Steve Jobs understood better than most executives  Why AI makes discernment more valuable, not less  How the brain develops taste through long-range neural connectivity  The surprising connection between novels, music, art, and executive judgment  Why expertise and taste are not the same thing  The neuroscience behind aesthetic judgment and leadership discernment  How passive consumption weakens your ability to recognize excellence  A practical way to begin building taste immediately  Why judgment, not skills, may become the defining leadership advantage of the next decadeYour Next Steps:Watch the Free MasterclassIf success still feels heavier than it should… this masterclass will help you understand why.Watch The Rewired Method™ in action How we help women executives end burnout and build sustainable success in less than 90 days...I recorded a step-by-step training for you here: The Sustainable Success Plan for Executive Women LeadersExplore The Rewired Woman™https://therewiredwoman.com/Follow on InstagramConnect on LinkedInCorporate Partnerships & Leadership Programshttps://rewiredglobal.com/corporates/

If AI writes a better prompt than you can now, what are you still being paid for? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle is joined by two of his closest collaborators, Brian Piper, content and AI integration consultant and co-author of Epic Content Marketing Volume 2, and Dr. Matt Wilkinson, founder of UK agency Strivenn and author of the forthcoming Buyer in the Loop. A month earlier, the three shared a stage at Mark Schaefer's Uprising retreat, building one marketing plan together, each orchestrating their own team of AI helpers to pull it off. Their answer to the question above is discernment. The AI handles the prompting now and most of the drafting. What it can't do is know when an output is wrong, when a claim is weak, when "good enough" isn't. That judgment comes from years of doing the work, and it's the one thing you bring to the machine that the machine can't supply for itself. The same idea runs through everything else they get into: why enterprise AI rollouts keep stalling, why "saving time" never seems to free anyone up, and why the white-collar-apocalypse story makes better clickbait than it does prediction. Listen in and hear about... Why discernment, not prompting, is the skill that holds its value in the AI era What actually went into co-building a campaign live at Mark Schaefer's Uprising retreat The change-management gap behind most failed enterprise AI rollouts Why "AI will take your job" is quietly sabotaging adoption from the inside How going solo became more connected, not more lonely Notable Quotes from Brian Piper and Matt Wilkinson "I think where it really excels is when you tie in expertise, you know, and you talked about building that discernment into the prompt and into the structure of your models that you're using." - Brian Piper "We have this extra time that AI has given us. Now the really strategic part is figuring out how you're going to use that time and how you're going to spend that time in a way that benefits your organization the most or benefits your customer the most." - Brian Piper "Otherwise the world is just going to be full of AI slop. But we can really use AI to increase the way that we think, the way that we engage with the information that we have." - Matt Wilkinson "There is no incentive to work with the AI to teach the AI to take over the tasks that you're doing, because then the AI can take your job. So why are you training up your replacement?" - Matt Wilkinson "I felt lonelier working at an organization than I did now that I'm on my own." - Brian Piper Resources and Links Dan Nestle Lilypath | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Matt Wilkinson Strivenn | Website Dr. Matt Wilkinson | Website Matt Wilkinson | LinkedIn Brian Piper Brian W.

My preference would be to ignore everything negative or unpleasant, rather than pray through … but sometimes the call is to pray through.

What if God's invitations rarely arrive as explanations?What if they come as images, stirrings, symbols, recurring questions, and living metaphors that quietly ask us to pay attention?In this episode of The Heartlifter Way, Janell Rardon explores why discernment begins not with certainty, but with noticing. Drawing from the unexpected wisdom of a moonflower vine growing in her backyard garden, Janell reflects on the difference between explanation and metaphor—and why the soul often learns through symbols long before it understands through words.Together we'll explore:• Why discernment starts with noticing• The difference between explanation and metaphor• How God often speaks through recurring images, invitations, and patternsThe Four Birth Season Questions for spiritual discernment:What keeps returning?What gentle nudges am I experiencing?What sensations and feelings am I noticing in my body?What is becoming clearer?If you've sensed something stirring beneath the surface of your life but can't quite explain it yet, this conversation is for you.Because sometimes the sacred arrives as a metaphor before it becomes a direction.And sometimes God's clearest invitations begin as a quiet stirring that becomes impossible to ignore.Take a deep breath. Slow down. Notice what is taking shape.The moonflower may have more to teach us than we realize.

Engineering teams are building ten times — even a hundred times — more than they could two years ago. That's a win, but one not without challenges. Because the cost of building the right thing has climbed exponentially. In this episode of the ServiceNow Insights podcast, host Bobby Brill sits down with three leaders who are living this tension from three distinct angles: the content and design leader who first spotted the productivity math problem, the design VP pushing for discernment over speed, and the research lead keeping the human at the center. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━IN THIS EPISODE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DAVID HOARE — Group VP, Digital Content & Design, ServiceNow ANAND THARANATHAN — Group VP, Product Research & Insights, ServiceNow DANTLEY DAVIS — SVP of Design, ServiceNow ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHAPTERS━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 Introduction & Guest Intros 1:13 David: The AI Philosophy — ChatGPT as genuine inflection point 3:02 David: Economic viability — why AI unlocks what was never possible before 3:12 Anand: Three-person startups scaling to $100M+ 3:45 Dantley: From 3D Studio Max to Jarvis — AI as human superpower 6:29 Anand: The customer north star hasn't changed 7:10 David: Engineering's survival problem — the 100x production gap 8:32 David: Andrew Ng's PM-to-engineer ratio + the cost of building wrong 9:40 Dantley: Nine concepts in an hour — design velocity and discernment 12:04 Dantley: The hip-hop tastemaker — slowing down as part of the process 14:20 David: Content governance — the fox guarding the hen house 16:21 Anand: Trust and the human-AI system 17:20 Dantley: AI surprise — UI tech stacks, feature completeness & hidden tech debt 20:21 18-Month Close — Anand, Dantley & David ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY TAKEAWAYS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Engineering is the first function to see massive AI productivity gains — but that creates a gap every other function has to survive • The cost of building has dropped.

If you've ever said “I just want a safe space” and meant “I'm tired of walking on eggshells,” this conversation will land. I'm talking about the kind of emotional safety that lets you breathe, speak, and exist without shrinking yourself and also the hidden trap of making your peace dependent on other people's approval.We start by naming the real need: safety is a basic human requirement, and for many Muslim women it's been tangled with family expectations, marriage dynamics, community judgment, and spiritual language that can sometimes be used to silence pain. I share an Islamic framework for protection that isn't one sided control but mutual allyship, and then we pivot into the part most of us miss: if you're waiting for people to stop judging you before you feel safe, you'll be waiting a long time. The work is learning how to create internal safety through your mind, your relationship with yourself, your relationship with Allah, and nervous system regulation without normalizing harm.The turning point is understanding discernment versus judgment. Discernment is calm and clear; it helps you recognize patterns that violate your dignity and take action. Judgment is charged and draining; it keeps your focus glued to what others “should” do and recreates an unsafe environment inside you, even if you change rooms, friends, or communities. We also cover the hard nuance: how internal responsibility can sound like blame if you've lived with chronic invalidation, and how to hold your reality while refusing to make other people's opinions your identity.You'll leave with practical embodied prompts for walking into tense spaces, plus a faith anchored way to center tawakkul so your dignity isn't up for debate. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a safer inner world, and leave a review with one boundary you're ready to practice this week.I invite you to join The Ummi Collective.

Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 2: "Lessons on the Lamb" Season two of the David series backtracks a bit this week — picking up not after the Bathsheba scandal, but earlier, when Saul is still king and wants David dead. "Not the kind of situation you want to find yourself in." Jealous and paranoid over David's growing popularity (there was literally a chorus about him: "Saul has slain his thousands, David his tens of thousands"), Saul starts hurling actual spears at him. So David goes "on the lamb" — on the run — which gives this message its title: Lessons on the Lamb. First lesson: strength doesn't always look like what we think it looks like. Even though David once stood fearlessly before Goliath, here he is running from a "washed up warrior." Why? Because David understood it wasn't his timing or his fight to pick. "There are battles in your life... that only God can fight." Sometimes the strongest thing a person can do isn't retaliate — it's walk away. "If I respond, it is not peace. It is debris, it is chaos, it is destruction, and I may feel right or think that it's right, but it doesn't make it right." Discernment — sometimes in the form of a spouse saying "babe" — matters. "Strength doesn't always look like you think that strength looks. It's a different kind of strength." Second lesson, and maybe the coolest full-circle moment in David's life: old swords, new battles. After defeating Goliath, David took the giant's own sword as a trophy. Years later, fleeing from Saul and desperate for a weapon, David arrives at the tabernacle in Nob, and the priest Ahimelech tells him there's only one sword available — Goliath's, wrapped in cloth, practically forgotten. David's response: "There is none like it. Give it to me." The lesson lands personally: "The battles from your past are the weapons for your future." Nothing you've gone through was wasted. "God does not waste anything in our lives." And the weapon isn't just for you — "it helps other people too." The final lesson is what gets called a "looney lesson." Fleeing into enemy territory — the city of Gath, ruled by King Achish — David realizes he's been recognized and is in real danger. So he does something wild: he pretends to be insane, scratching on the gate and drooling into his beard, until Achish dismisses him as a madman not worth the trouble. "Sometimes doing the right thing will make you look like a mad person." When you're doing what God has called you to do, "it's not always going to make sense to other people." And that's fine — "our purpose is more than to impress people. We are here to honor the sacrifice of Jesus' life on the cross." After all, the message of the cross itself looked like foolishness to the world — "the one who knew no sin became sin on my behalf... it's foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." Three lessons from a man on the run: a different kind of strength, old swords for new battles, and sometimes a little bit of "crazy" is exactly what faithfulness looks like.

Everyone reviewed Disclosure Day. Almost nobody asked what it means for your soul.In Part 2 of our Disclosure Day series, we go past the hot takes and into the part the other reviews skipped: the spiritual, philosophical, and metaphysical weight of what Spielberg actually put on screen. If disclosure is real, what happens to God? To Christianity, Islam, the Vedic traditions? Is this a film… or a rollout?We get into the two warring shadow agencies, why disclosure looks more like a slow process than a single "day," the war.gov releases, the Book of Enoch and the Nephilim, Islam's surprising openness to life beyond Earth, the Dune-style "is it all scripted?" question, channelers and remote viewers, and where the line really is between healthy discernment and naive belief.This isn't a review. It's a decode for people who actually want to think.

What if the thing keeping you stuck in dating isn't a lack of clarity but a fear of getting hurt?In this mini episode, Meghan explores a struggle many single women face: when healthy discernment quietly turns into self-protection. If you've ever found yourself overanalyzing, waiting for perfect peace, or avoiding vulnerability in the name of being "wise," this conversation is for you.Discover the difference between discerning God's invitation and letting fear keep you stuck. Meghan shares how the desire to avoid pain can unintentionally keep us from the very connection we're longing for and why sometimes the next faithful step is all we're being asked to take.Because sometimes the next step—not perfect certainty—is where God meets us.If dating has felt exhausting, disappointing, or overwhelming, this episode offers a compassionate invitation to trade certainty for trust, curiosity, and courage..

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when God's Word lives in our hearts, it's a powerful way to live. When we allow ourselves to be taught by the Lord, and yield our lives to His will, we can live free of uncertainty and doubt.

Guided Question Are you growing older in your faith—or truly growing up through intentional application of God's Word? Summary In this sermon from Fellowship Bible Church, Dr. Robert Lewis challenges believers to examine whether they are spiritually maturing or merely aging in the faith. Drawing from Epistle to the Hebrews 5, he addresses Christians who had followed Christ for decades yet remained spiritually immature. He describes three evidences of spiritual stagnation: dull hearing, an ailing appetite for truth, and failing discernment. Spiritual truth is never neutral—if not applied, it hardens the heart. Using the parable of the talents from Gospel of Matthew 25, he emphasizes that unused truth is eventually lost. The heart of the message centers on intent and application. Maturity is not measured by biblical knowledge but by practiced obedience. Christianity becomes boring when it is merely acknowledged—but becomes an adventure when lived. Through a powerful real-life story of a woman who chose obedience during a painful divorce, the sermon concludes with a compelling reminder: abundant life cannot be defined without application. Outline I. Introduction: Growing Older vs. Growing Up Age does not equal maturity. Christians can expend energy yet remain spiritually stagnant. The “spiritual treadmill” problem. II. Context: Hebrews 5 and Spiritual Immaturity Written to believers mature in years but immature in growth. The writer pauses discussion of Melchizedek to address stagnation. III. Three Evidences of Spiritual Stagnation (Hebrews 5:11–14) 1. Impaired Hearing (Dull of Hearing) Spiritual calluses form when truth is not applied. Two root causes: Utility — Failing to see Scripture as useful. Intent — Never intending to fully live it out. If truth is not used, it is lost (Matthew 25 principle). 2. An Ailing Appetite (Milk Instead of Meat) Stuck on elementary principles. Immaturity is lack of experience, not lack of knowledge. Maturity = practiced obedience, not accumulated information. 3. Failing Faculties (Lack of Discernment) Without practice, life becomes guesswork. Repeated conflict and instability often stem from lack of biblical discernment. Meditation integrates Scripture with daily living. IV. The Proposal: An Exciting Christian Life The difference between reading about something and experiencing it. Christianity is not a job—it's an adventure. Radical obedience breeds: Joy Freedom Anticipation Abundant life V. Illustration: Obedience in Divorce A woman applies 1 Corinthians 6 instead of retaliating. Intentional obedience brings freedom and restoration. Application leads to true spiritual adventure. VI. Conclusion Abundant life cannot be defined without application. Choose adventure over boredom. Apply one specific truth this week. Key Takeaways Growing older in Christ does not guarantee spiritual maturity. Spiritual truth is never neutral—it either softens or hardens. If you don't use what you've been given, you lose it. Maturity is measured by practiced obedience, not Bible knowledge. Discernment comes through application. Christianity without application is boring. Christianity with radical intent is an adventure. Abundant life begins where obedience begins. Scripture References  Hebrews 5:11–14 — Spiritual immaturity revealed through dull hearing, spiritual infancy, and lack of discernment. Matthew 25:14–29 — What is not used is lost; faithful application leads to growth and joy. Proverbs 14:12 — What seems right without wisdom leads to destruction. Psalms 1:1–3 — Meditating on God's Word produces stability and fruitfulness. 1 Corinthians 6:7 — Better to suffer wrong than abandon obedience among believers. 3 John 1:4 — True joy comes from walking in the truth. Recorded 3.14.82

Ecclesiastes 10 warns that even small acts of foolishness can have devastating consequences, while wisdom quietly protects every area of life. Solomon encourages us to guard our words, sharpen our skills, stay humble, lead responsibly, and handle problems with patience rather than panic. By inviting God's wisdom into our daily decisions, we can avoid unnecessary regret and live with greater faithfulness and purpose.

Most business leaders are fighting with one hand tied behind their back — and they don't even know it. Lance Wallnau reveals why the gift of discernment isn't just a spiritual tool, it's a competitive weapon that secular competitors will never have access to. What if the edge you've been looking for in business was already inside you? In this message, Lance unpacks the practical and supernatural strategy that positions believers above the noise — from building teams that scale, to hearing the voice of the Spirit over your customers' problems, to why praying in tongues activates solutions your mind hasn't found yet. In this episode: * Why the best leaders ask the right questions instead of having all the answers * The 4 categories every business must master: people, strategy, execution, and cash * How to "choose who you lose" — and why your brand depends on it * The biblical HR policy for handling contentious team members * Why praying in the Spirit gives you insight your competitors can't buy * The seven mountains mandate and God's plan to borrow your business as a platform Podcast Episode 2149: How Discernment Gives Believers a Marketplace Edge | don't miss this!

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the purpose of discernment is to know and follow God's will in every situation. When God's will is our priority, the goal is not just making decisions, but making decisions that God wants for our lives.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that discernment is the ability to tell the difference between truth and lies, right and wrong, or God's way vs. other influences. It's a discipline that takes a renewal of our minds, through prayer, scripture, and relying on the Holy Spirit to guide our decision making process.

Have you ever caught yourself listening to thoughts that bring doubt, fear, or confusion?In today's episode, Stephanie Alessi Muiña explores the enemy's favorite weapon (deception) and uncovers how recognizing lies can shift the direction of our faith journey. Together, we'll learn how to discern truth from falsehood using Scripture, understand why it's vital to fill our hearts with God's promises, and discover practical ways to guard our minds against confusion.Let's come together in prayer and daily devotion, standing firm in God's truth and encouraging our community to walk confidently in faith.Tap HERE to send us a text!
