In this sermon Andrew unpacks how Paul charges Timothy — and believers today — to flee false teaching and empty quarrels, pursue diligent and faithful handling of Scripture, and stand firm on God's unshakable foundation.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What if God is speaking, but not in the way you expected?In this episode, Jerry L. Martin reflects on how God may guide us through everyday life, through prayer, intuition, conscience, spiritual experience, and through other people.When Jerry first heard God ask him to “tell My story,” he was surprised by the idea that God could have a story at all. But as he was led through the sacred texts of the world's religions, he began to see divine reality as active, personal, many-sided, and deeply involved in human life.God's story is not only found in ancient scriptures or world religions. It continues in the lives of ordinary people.Jerry explores how to recognize divine guidance, how to listen for God's presence, and why spiritual discernment begins with paying attention. Sometimes God may speak through a friend's advice, a repeated message, a task that falls into your path, a feeling in the body, or a moment of unexpected help.For anyone who has ever felt abandoned by God, spiritually alone, or unsure how to hear God's voice, this episode offers a powerful reminder: you may not be alone. God may already be present through the people, signs, and quiet invitations around you.This From God to Jerry to You reflection explores divine signs, spiritual calling, religious experience, suffering, gratitude, and how God speaks through other people.***Continue the conversation with Ultimate Questions on calling, divine guidance, and how we recognize what is ours to do:https://substack.com/@ultimatequestions***Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comUltimate Questions SubstackGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically PersonalShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

While the world celebrates Pride Month, Christians must be careful not to focus on one visible sin while becoming blind to the pride, immorality, drunkenness, gossip, dishonesty, and worldliness that often exist in our own lives. God calls His people not to celebrate or excuse sin, but to expose the deeds of darkness and find their identity, confidence, and joy in Jesus Christ alone. The rainbow is not a symbol of human pride, but God's covenant, faithfulness, and mercy toward a fallen world.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What is the spiritual meaning of suffering, and why is suffering such a real part of human life? In this What's On Our Mind conversation, Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon explore suffering, grief, compassion, spiritual growth, and the ways reality discloses itself personally to each of us.Drawing from God: An Autobiography, Radically Personal, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and the New Axial Age, this episode reflects on suffering not as a meaningless accident, but as part of the real terrain of life. Jerry and Scott discuss why pain can become information, why grief can reveal love and meaning, and how different spiritual traditions can help us respond to suffering with humility, discernment, and compassion.The conversation also considers God's presence in human suffering, the role of personal spiritual experience, and the question of how each person is called to respond to reality as it unfolds. For anyone seeking meaning in grief, pain, loss, or spiritual struggle, this episode offers a thoughtful reflection on suffering, healing, and the search for divine presence in a real and difficult world.Related Episodes:283.

Sunday June 7th 2026 Sunday worship Service at the Deeper Life Bible Church Gbagada Lagos. Message By Pastor W.F Kumuyihttps://dclm.org/sermons/sunday-services/2026-sunday-services/great-loss-through-ignorance-and-lack-of-spiritual-discernment/

The sermon centers on the necessity of spiritual discernment in evaluating music, emphasizing that while Scripture provides principles rather than specific musical commands, believers are called to judge all things by biblical standards. It contrasts mere perception—recognizing cultural or emotional responses to music—with true discernment, which involves separating holy from profane, clean from unclean, through a deep, Spirit-empowered engagement with Scripture. Drawing from passages in Ezekiel, Proverbs, and 1 Corinthians, the message argues that discernment is cultivated not through musical expertise, but through consistent Bible study, a yielded life, and the Holy Spirit's illumination. The speaker challenges listeners to move beyond cultural preferences or emotional reactions, urging them to practice spiritual maturity by making biblically grounded decisions in music and life, recognizing that true discernment is developed over time through faith, obedience, and the exercise of spiritual senses.

Main Idea: Those who WORSHIP God hear GOD.Competing VoicesWe cannot hear God clearly when FEAR NARRATES.We cannot hear God clearly when RESENTMENT is SHOUTING in our souls.We cannot hear God clearly when the voice of ACCUSATION forces us into HIDING.Holy ListeningWe can hear God in spiritual FRIENDSHIPSWe can hear God in spiritual DIRECTION.We can hear God in spiritual GROUPS.TakeawayQUIET the noise, WORSHIP deeply, and stop WALKING alone.

Why is church hurt so hard to sort through—even when you're trying to approach it thoughtfully?In this episode, Jill begins a new series exploring the complexity of disappointment and tension within church communities. Not every situation is clear-cut. Sometimes something feels off, but there isn't full agreement on what's right or wrong—and that's where it becomes difficult to process.Rather than rushing to conclusions, this episode slows things down and looks at what may be happening underneath the experience. Jill walks through why these situations feel heavier than other types of conflict, why it's hard to talk about concerns without feeling like you're causing division, and how quickly our interpretations can start to shape what we believe is true.This episode isn't about assigning blame or figuring out who's right. It's about understanding the layers—so you can respond with more clarity, humility, and steadiness.In This Episode:Why church experiences often carry more emotional and spiritual weightThe tension between wanting to be careful and needing to process something that doesn't sit rightHow internal processing can shift into certainty without realizing itWhy these situations are rarely as simple as they first appearThe layers involved: leadership, culture, interpretation, and your own internal responseKey Takeaways:Church hurt often feels heavier because it involves trust, belonging, and shared faithNot every situation is clear—many involve differing perspectives rather than obvious right and wrongIt's possible to move too quickly toward silence or certainty without fully understanding what's happeningSlowing down your thinking creates space for clarity and wisdomYou don't have to resolve everything immediately to begin moving forward thoughtfullySeries Note:This episode is part of a four-part series on church hurt. In the coming weeks, we'll look more closely at leadership, hear from women who have walked through these experiences, and explore how to process what's happening in your own heart.Keywords:church hurt, Christian relationships, church conflict, spiritual discernment, emotional processing, Christian growth, navigating disappointment, faith and relationships, church leadership, Christian mindset CLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.  Come by yourself or register with the women in your world. Discover ways to work with me at www.thehappiestlives.com or www.myhappyvault.comQuestions?

What if the most loving thing isn't the comment everyone else is leaving?

What if your Throat Chakra is not just about speaking — but about truth?In this episode of The Constance Messmer Podcast, I take a soulful and practical deep dive into the Throat Chakra — the chakra of truth, communication, trust, self-expression, and inner knowing.I share how this energy center can reveal where you are silencing yourself, talking yourself into situations that are not right for you, struggling to trust your instincts, or carrying old stories that still affect how you express yourself today. I also explore the connection between the Throat Chakra and the Solar Plexus, the role of intuition in communication, and why your words — spoken or unspoken — carry real energetic weight.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What happens when suffering enters a new season of life? How do we face aging, grief, limitation, and uncertainty without surrendering our sense of purpose?In the latest Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, the married philosophers return for another stimulating dialogue exploring suffering, aging, calling, and the search for meaning. Beginning with the Serenity Prayer and the Stoic distinction between what we can and cannot control, the conversation moves into deeper questions about suffering as a source of growth, the temptation to “give up” too early in life, and the challenge of remaining fully engaged with one's purpose.Abigail reflects on resisting cultural narratives of decline, particularly those imposed on women, while sharing her thoughts on aging, neuropathy, resilience, and refusing to “die before you're dead.” Jerry connects these reflections to themes from God: An Autobiography, including the idea that “suffering is the law of growth in the universe.”The discussion also explores antisemitism, historical responsibility, Aristotle's vision of human flourishing, the story of David and Goliath, and the question of what it means to live in alignment with one's deepest calling.This is a rich and personal conversation about suffering, purpose, spiritual courage, and remaining fully alive on the timeline of human history.Whether you are navigating grief, searching for meaning, or trying to discern what still has your name on it, Episode 284 offers a thoughtful and deeply human exploration of the courage required to keep living fully. Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically Personal, Confessions of a Young Philosopher, A Good Look at EvilShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Spiritual Discernment | 1 John 4:1-6 Rev Tyler Smith

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mothers out there. Today's episode is a deeper conversation about the urgent need for stronger, more biblical men and women in our culture, people willing to stand for truth, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil.We discuss the ongoing outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for powerful people, and the broader cultural failure to protect victims from wicked and predatory individuals. But this conversation goes beyond headlines. It's about morality, courage, justice, faith, and what happens when societies stop valuing strong families, strong character, and biblical principles.This episode is ultimately about hope too, because evil does not win forever. Real justice matters, truth matters, and good people still have a responsibility to speak up.

Sermon Notes

Brian Fromm sits down with Adam Holtz from Plugged In — Focus on the Family's entertainment review ministry — to talk about Michael, the new Michael Jackson biopic covering his rise from Gary, Indiana to global superstardom. Is it a fair portrait, or does it sidestep the harder questions? Adam breaks down what the film gets right, why legal realities shaped what it couldn't show, and what it means for the value of the biopic genre altogether. Then, Adam pulls back the curtain on Plugged In's popular Theology Of series — deep-dive explorations of the spiritual worldviews embedded in major entertainment franchises like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and the latest entry: Doom. Yes, that Doom. It turns out a demon-shooting shooter from 1993 has more theological substance than you'd expect. Plus — what's coming this summer? Adam previews Spider-Man: Brand New Day and why it may be the movie to watch. Find Adam and the full Theology Of series at pluggedin.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What if the most important decisions in your life don't feel like choices at all?In this episode of Radically Personal, Jerry L. Martin explores calling not as something we choose, but something we recognize—something that can feel required—even when it is unclear or difficult.Beginning with an epistemology of trust, he challenges the idea that knowledge starts with doubt. We rely on our experience from the start—but when it comes to calling, that raises a harder question: how do we know which inner promptings to trust?Not every voice carries authority. And yet, the responsibility to discern cannot be handed off to anyone else.Drawing on the idea of dharma in the Bhagavad Gita, the episode turns to a more specific question: what is being asked of you—here, now, in the life you are actually living?At the center is a question that resists abstraction: what task has your name on it?One way to approach this question is through three others: what are you being called to do, who or what is doing the calling, and who is the one being called?Each answer carries its own kind of authority—and its own risk of misreading. The challenge is not only to listen, but to discern.Get the books: Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age | God: An Autobiography, As Told to a PhilosopherOther Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:Radically Personal: Reflections on lived experience, divine encounter, and personal vocation, drawing on a seeker-centered approach to spirituality in a new Axial Age.From God to Jerry to You: Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue: Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story: Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind: Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God: A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.The Life Wisdom Project: Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.What's On Your Mind: Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comUltimate Questions SubstackGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically PersonalShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Sermon Notes

The post Theology Without Spiritual Discernment appeared first on Straight Truth Podcast.

How is it possible to possess vast theological knowledge yet completely lack spiritual discernment? In this episode, Dr. Richard Caldwell examines the dangerous reality of knowing the Bible but lacking wisdom in everyday application. This spiritual blindness almost always begins with intellectual pride, which turns Scripture into a mere academic subject and leads to selective obedience. To combat the desire for cultural compromise, believers must cultivate a posture of profound humility, maintaining a constant dependence on the Spirit of God to apply biblical truth to every area of life.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What do you do when doing the right thing still carries a cost?In this From God to Jerry to You episode, Jerry explores moral ambiguity through real situations where decisions cannot be separated from their consequences.Opening with the reality of war and targeted killing, Jerry reflects on the removal of a dangerous leader and the question it raises: can an action be necessary and still carry moral weight?Even when harm is prevented, lives are lost—including those not directly involved. Jerry turns to a central insight from his encounter with God: What is morally imperfect may still be morally required.Drawing on the Bhagavad Gita, where duty, loyalty, and justice collide in a moment that demands action, Jerry considers whether the conflict can be avoided. The decision still has to be made.He brings the discussion into everyday life—workplace decisions, institutional roles, and situations where telling the truth, protecting others, and doing what's required do not align.In ethics, this is often called the “dirty hands” problem: actions that may be justified yet carry a lasting moral cost. One point remains clear: decisions carry forward. Responsibility does not end once the choice is made.This timely episode explores moral ambiguity, ethical decision-making, and the reality of living with the consequences of your actions.

Jerry introduces an “epistemics of trust,” where experience becomes the starting point of knowledge—but must be carefully discerned.Guidance may come through inner awareness, other people, or lived experience.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland UFO/UAP Bombshell From The Ascended Masters and Galactic Federation. Calling out the Delusion and Debauchery This broadcast explores the metaphysical struggle between "Universal Law" and the "Demiurge" construct, addressing global political conflicts and alleged occult influences. Speaker James Gilliland provides a detailed rebuttal to recent controversies surrounding the ECETI Hawaii project while calling for a spiritual awakening centered on "Christ Consciousness." The Metaphysical Conflict and Global Control The planet is described as being governed by the "Demiurge," a negative AI or consciousness construct also identified as the "Beast" or "Archons." This influence is said to manifest through political movements and radical religious sects that allegedly engage in occult worship, institutionalized trafficking, and genetic experimentation. Conversely, "True Christianity" and the original teachings of Yeshua (Jesus), recently recovered from the Ethiopian Bible, emphasize the "God spark" within every individual and the equality of all people, rejecting the patriarchal and hierarchical systems of the past. Geopolitics, False Flags, and Ancient History Modern conflicts in the Middle East are characterized as power struggles rather than holy wars, with the speaker citing events like 9/11 and the USS Liberty as "false flags" used to justify expansionism. The narrative links these events to ancient history, involving Anunnaki genetic engineering and suppressed technologies such as "Stargates" and "MedBeds," the latter of which are reportedly being used to heal children rescued from underground facilities segment11-12]. The current escalation between Israel and Iran is viewed as the "beginning of the end" for corrupt global leadership, as "Universal Law" begins to anchor back into the physical plane. The ECETI Hawaii Controversy and Spiritual Integrity A significant portion of the broadcast addresses a five-year dispute regarding the attempted creation of "ECETI Hawaii." Gilliland alleges that two former partners, referred to as "Leidi" and "Hesa," failed to honor agreements despite $1.5 million in funding provided through ECETI. He characterizes their subsequent accusations of abuse and "harem" dynamics as "meritless gossip" and "projections" intended to deflect from their own lack of integrity and financial impropriety. He emphasizes that ECETI operates without gurus or external worship, focusing instead on individual empowerment and "self-mastery". Spiritual Discernment and the "BS Meter" The speaker warns that the spiritual and UFO communities are currently riddled with "posers, shills, and planned opposition" who lack the inner sensitivity to see behind the "masks" of false leaders. He advocates for the development of a "BS meter"—a personal connection to the Divine that allows one to remain an unbiased observer. Enlightenment is defined as being in knowledge of both the dark and the light, requiring the courage to hold oneself and others accountable to Universal Law. The broadcast concludes with a firm call for truth and accountability. By dropping the "arrogance of elitism" and adhering to Universal Law, humanity can move past manufactured lack and conflict. Gilliland invites seekers to bypass the "soap opera" of rumors and engage directly with the authentic energies of the Ascended Masters and benevolent off-worlders.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're breaking down current events that should have everyone asking deeper questions and not just passively scrolling past them.Why are the Epstein files still not fully released? Why are there still no real Epstein trials? And why does it feel like the conversation keeps shifting right when accountability should be front and center?We're talking about Donald Trump, the ongoing silence surrounding Epstein files-related justice, and the growing tensions that are pushing us closer to global conflict. Is it all coincidence or is distraction the entire point?I'm discussing the idea that war, chaos, and constant petty headlines can be used to redirect public attention away from uncomfortable truths. And more importantly, I challenge the mindset that's keeping people passive:The obsession with “being nice.”Niceness is not a fruit of the Spirit.Kindness is, but kindness does not mean tolerating evil, ignoring corruption, or staying silent when truth is inconvenient for you.Our current culture rewards passivity and punishes boldness, but we have to ask:Are we ignoring evil to protect our image?Have we confused politeness with righteousness?And what happens to a society that refuses to confront what is wrong?Evil doesn't retreat when it's ignored.It advances when good people stay quiet and do nothing.Stop acting like nothing is different when everything has changed.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

In Part 2 of my conversation with Stacy M., we continue pulling back the curtain on Freemasonry and examining the questions most people are told not to ask.If the organization is simply a harmless fraternity, why so much secrecy? Why the elaborate rituals, layered symbolism, and strict oaths? And why have so many influential leaders throughout history been tied to it?In this episode, we dig deeper into the structure of Freemasonry, the meaning behind its rituals and symbols, and the concerns many Christians and researchers have raised about its spiritual and cultural influence. We also discuss why criticism of the organization is often quickly dismissed—and why that reaction alone should make people more curious, not less.This conversation isn't about sensationalism. It's about discernment. When powerful institutions operate largely out of public view yet intersect with leadership, culture, and faith, they deserve thoughtful examination.The goal isn't to tell people what to think, but to encourage them to start asking questions for themselves.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Today on Uncommon Sense, I'm joined by Stacy M. for a conversation that too many people are afraid (or unwilling) to have.We're discussing Freemasonry: what it is, what it claims to be, and the darker, more sinister elements that often get brushed aside or ignored entirely. From secrecy and symbolism to influence and power, we're asking the questions that rarely get real answers.Why has this secret society maintained such a strong presence for so long? Why does it seem to intersect so frequently with positions of power—including within our own government? And most importantly… why aren't more people talking about it?This episode isn't about blind accusations, it's about awareness. If something holds influence, operates behind closed doors, and shapes culture or leadership in any capacity, it deserves scrutiny.It's time to start paying attention and asking better questions.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

In this episode, we dive into 2 Kings 6 and uncover a powerful biblical truth: God gives His people access to spiritual intelligence. Just as nations rely on intelligence agencies to uncover hidden threats, believers have access to something far greater — the leading and revelation of the Holy Spirit. Through the story of Elisha and the king of Israel, we see how God repeatedly revealed the enemy's plans before they could be carried out. What looked like a military advantage was actually spiritual discernment at work. But this kind of discernment isn't reserved for prophets in the Old Testament. Scripture shows us that every believer can grow in the ability to hear the voice of God, recognize His warnings, and follow His guidance in everyday life. In this teaching, we talk about: What spiritual discernment really isHow the Holy Spirit provides warnings and directionWhy believers must learn to test what they hearThe importance of developing a consistent prayer lifeHow obedience sharpens your ability to hear God more clearlyWhy ignoring the promptings of the Holy Spirit can lead to painful consequences We also explore how spiritual intelligence works in real life — from everyday decisions to moments where God protects us from danger before we even see it coming. The good news is that God has not left us alone. Through the Holy Spirit, He gives us guidance, wisdom, and insight that goes beyond our natural understanding. If you desire to grow in hearing God's voice and walking in spiritual discernment, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
