One of the most important and common ways in which Jesus speaks to us is through the counsel and wisdom of His body. The truth is that we all need wise counsel and mentors who can help us to grow in Christ and point us to the love of the Father. The problem is that a lot of people have been hurt and abused by allowing the wrong people into their lives. Others have never found anyone that has the wisdom to mentor them. In this episode, I share some insights about what type of person we should look to for wise counsel, Christlike mentorship and how we can discern the wisdom of Jesus through other people.

Some of the costliest financial mistakes are made in isolation. When big decisions come our way, pride and pressure can convince us that we need to figure everything out ourselves. But God designed us to walk in community, and His wisdom often comes through trusted voices. Seeking wise counsel is not a sign of weakness—it is a key part of faithful stewardship. Have you ever faced a financial decision that felt heavier than your confidence could carry? Maybe it was whether to buy a home. Perhaps it was changing careers, helping aging parents, navigating a difficult season in marriage, or deciding how to prepare for retirement. In those moments, the questions come quickly: What if I get this wrong? What if I overlook something important? What if I regret this later? And often, beneath all of those questions is the assumption that you should be able to figure it out by yourself. But God never intended for you to walk through life's biggest decisions alone. Wisdom Often Comes Through Community One of the clearest themes in Scripture is that wisdom often comes through community. Proverbs 11:14 says, “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” That is not only a proverb about leadership. It is a principle for everyday life—including our finances. Sometimes we think wisdom is found only in personal research, spreadsheets, calculators, or online content. Those tools can certainly be helpful. But biblical wisdom is more than information. It includes discernment, humility, perspective, and the willingness to receive insight from others. That is why Proverbs 12:15 says, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” Notice the contrast: foolishness is not always recklessness. Sometimes it is simply refusing to listen. Wisdom begins when we acknowledge that we may not see the whole picture. And that takes humility. Humility Opens the Door to Wisdom Proverbs 9:10 tells us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” To fear the Lord means recognizing that God is God and we are not. We submit our plans, our preferences, and even our financial assumptions to Him. We stop asking only, “What do I want to do?” and begin asking, “Lord, what would You have me do?” That kind of humility also opens us to receive the people God may use in our lives. Sometimes that person is a mentor who has walked through a season you are now entering. Sometimes it is a trusted friend who knows you well enough to ask hard questions. Sometimes it is an older believer whose experience can spare you from avoidable mistakes. And sometimes it is a professional advisor who brings technical expertise shaped by biblical values, such as a Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®). But ignoring wise voices can have destructive consequences. Rehoboam's Warning Scripture gives us a sobering example in Rehoboam, the son of Solomon. In 1 Kings 12, when Rehoboam became king, the people asked him to lighten the heavy burdens placed on them. At first, he sought counsel from the older men who had advised his father. They urged him to lead with humility and serve the people. But Rehoboam rejected their wisdom. Instead, he turned to younger voices that echoed his pride and ambition. Their advice was simple: be harsher, be stronger, demand more. He followed their counsel, and the result was devastating. The kingdom was split in two. What began as a leadership decision became a national tragedy. Why? Because Rehoboam preferred affirmation over wisdom. He chose voices that told him what he wanted to hear instead of what he needed to hear. That temptation is still with us today. Wise Counsel Does More Than Validate Us When making financial decisions, we can easily look for voices that justify our desires, reinforce our fears, or confirm what we have already decided. But wise counsel does not merely validate us. It helps us see what we cannot see on our own. Sometimes, wise voices serve as guardrails. They keep us from drifting into the ditches of greed, fear, impulsiveness, or self-reliance. They help us slow down, think clearly, and align our choices with God's purposes. That may mean someone helps you recognize that a purchase is moving too quickly. It may mean an advisor helps you see the long-term impact of a financial decision. It may mean a trusted friend reminds you that generosity, contentment, and faithfulness matter just as much as the numbers. Ultimately, wise counsel leads to wiser decisions. Don't Carry the Decision Alone So, what financial decision are you carrying right now? Maybe it is time to stop carrying it alone. Ask God to show you who He has already placed around you. Make a list of trusted people you can reach out to. Invite wise voices into your decision-making process. Do not isolate. Do not assume asking for help is a weakness. Often, it is one of the strongest acts of stewardship you can make. Faithful stewardship is not just about making the right financial choice. It is about making decisions with humility, wisdom, and dependence on God. And one of the ways God often gives us wisdom is through the people He places around us.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My identity was stolen about five years ago, and I'm still receiving notices for debts and accounts I never opened. I've frozen my credit and disputed the fraudulent charges, but banks and lenders continue turning me down. What else can I do to clean this up? I receive Social Security and a pension. How should I think about giving tithes and offerings from that income? My wife owes me a little over $40,000 from a 0% loan I gave her to help save her late mother's house from foreclosure. We put the agreement in writing, but the repayment period has long passed, and she would have to wipe out her retirement to repay me. I can afford to forgive the loan, but she hasn't asked for forgiveness. From a biblical and marital standpoint, should I forgive it anyway? What's the difference between a living trust and a will, and how do I know which one is better for my estate plan?

Who are the voices shaping your decisions? Kari explores how God speaks through the people he places on our path and what it looks like to gather wise counsel as we seek his will in the decisions of life.

Are you struggling to let go of anger when someone deeply offends you? Discover how releasing your desire for revenge can actually unlock your greatest blessings and protect your future. When we are wronged or disrespected, our natural reaction is to justify our anger, hold onto the offense, and seek revenge. However, two of the greatest tactics used against your future are offense and anger. When you are offended, your judgment becomes clouded, and you risk making decisions that can ruin the very future God is preparing for you. In this message, Elliott Warren shares a powerful truth: if you want to see good days and obtain a blessing, you must not repay evil for evil or insult for insult. Using the biblical story of David, Nabal, and Abigail, we learn how to pause in the face of disrespect, humble ourselves, and listen to wise counsel. By refusing to act out of spite, you invite God to handle the situation for you and protect you from the grief of unnecessary consequences. • 00:00:00 - Finding Peace in Difficult Situations • 00:08:20 - Your Season of Breakthrough is Coming • 00:13:57 - How Offense and Anger Distort Your Judgment • 00:22:06 - Why You Shouldn't Repay Evil for Evil • 00:32:00 - The Importance of Listening to Wise Counsel • 00:37:33 - Why Humility is the Key to Your Breakthrough • 00:46:53 - Recognizing When God is Trying to Correct You • 00:54:49 - Closing Prayer for Peace and Humility #overcominganger #letgoofoffense #findingpeace #sermon #ElliottWarren #faith #dealingwithdifficultpeople #Jesus #christianity #spiritualgrowth #humility #wisdom #christianliving #crossculturechurch #personalgrowth If this message helped you find peace today, please subscribe to our channel and share this video with someone who might need encouragement.

Money has a way of making life feel complicated. Whether we're facing major financial crossroads or simply trying to steward everyday expenses with wisdom, many of us default to figuring things out on our own. But Scripture reminds us that navigating life in isolation isn't a sign of strength—it's often a barrier to wisdom. Proverbs 11:14 teaches that “where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” Wise counsel, especially when rooted in biblical truth, protects us from blind spots, emotional decision-making, and unnecessary regret.On this episode of Faith & Finance, Sharon Epps—President of Kingdom Advisors and a familiar voice to FaithFi listeners—joins us to explore why seeking counsel is an essential part of faithful stewardship. Sharon explains that while Scripture is our ultimate authority, God often uses people to speak wisdom into our lives. Advisors, mentors, and trustworthy peers help us see what we might otherwise miss, and their influence can redirect us toward obedience, humility, and clarity.Yet many believers hesitate to ask for help. Sharon acknowledges that reluctance often stems from pride—the subtle belief that we should be able to manage life independently. But asking for help is an act of faith, not weakness. It invites others to use the gifts God has given them and prevents us from making decisions based solely on fear, impulse, or confirmation bias.Drawing from the story of Rehoboam in 1 Kings 12, Sharon highlights the danger of listening only to voices that tell us what we want to hear. Rehoboam rejected the wisdom of seasoned counselors in favor of peers who affirmed his own desires—and the outcome was disastrous. The lesson is clear: godly counsel may not always feel comfortable, but it aligns us with God's purposes and challenges us to pursue stewardship that honors Him.Sharon then offers practical guidance for how believers can seek wise counsel today. At times, this involves working with trained financial professionals—such as Certified Kingdom Advisors (CKA)—who integrate biblical wisdom with planning, investing, and long-term financial strategy. In other seasons, we need mentors who have walked ahead of us and can offer perspective, or peer friendships that speak truth with honesty and grace. Sometimes the right conversation happens over coffee; other times it requires prayer, pastoral guidance, and spiritual discernment.For those currently overwhelmed by a financial decision, Sharon's simple encouragement is: don't go it alone. Isolation amplifies anxiety, while community brings clarity. Invite trusted voices into the process, seek the Lord in prayer, and remember James 1:5—God gives wisdom generously to those who ask.Listeners interested in working with a financial professional trained to offer biblically faithful and practically sound counsel can connect with a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) at FindACKA.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I aren't always on the same page when it comes to money. We moved last year and kept our old house as a rental, which would cover both mortgages. He wants to pay off the rental, but the rental rate is under 4%, and the new house rate is almost 7%.

Decision-making can feel overwhelming. In our daily prayer and devotional, we remember that we often turn to friends, family, or even the internet for guidance—only to end up with conflicting opinions that leave us even more uncertain. While seeking advice can be valuable, Scripture reminds us that we already have access to the best Counselor of all—the Holy Spirit. When Jesus promised the gift of the Spirit, He assured us that believers would never walk alone. The Spirit of truth lives within us, guiding, comforting, and directing our steps. This doesn’t mean every decision will suddenly feel easy, but it does mean we can trust that God will faithfully lead us in the way we should go. As children of God, we don’t have to rely solely on human wisdom. We can lean on the Spirit’s promptings, rest in His peace, and trust that He will never steer us wrong. When we feel paralyzed by uncertainty, let us pause, pray, and remember that the Spirit of God lives in us—ready to counsel us at every crossroads. Today's Bible Reading: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." – John 14:16-17 (NIV) Key Takeaways God has given us the Holy Spirit as our eternal counselor and guide. Seeking human advice can be helpful, but Spirit-led wisdom is always best. Peace in decision-making comes when we surrender to God’s truth and leading. We can face uncertainty with confidence, knowing God’s Spirit is always with us. Let’s Pray Together Lord God, You are my Wonderful Counselor. Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit who guides me in truth and helps me make wise decisions. When I feel uncertain or overwhelmed, remind me to seek Your Spirit first. Lead me in Your will, and give me peace as I trust You to direct my steps. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

That's part of the reason I founded Order of Man and bring in incredible men like my guest today, Cody Jefferson.

Today, Cody and I talk about why so many men feel they're always behind and never enough, the pressures a man faces daily and how to relieve them correctly, the source of joy and peace in a man's life, how your body will tell you a lot about your attitude and efforts in life, why men should focus on who they are, not what they do, and so much more.

Send us a text     Hello and welcome to Episode 11 in our series, “Stay in His Presence,” Season 13. My name is Stephanie Wright, your host.      We are continuing in our study of the attributes of the Holy Spirit from A to Z. The title of today's podcast is “Spiritual Warfare—On the Battlefield.” This podcast will encompass spiritual warfare and military warfare from a Biblical perspective. Our guest speaker is Dr. Charles Wright, who will enhance our understanding of spiritual warfare with his expertise in military warfare. His experiences, like those of many soldiers, were unique because, on occasion, he waged spiritual and military warfare simultaneously. He will share two of those accounts today: "Wise Counsel" and "Living Among the Dead." Then we will continue this episode with a sequel, Part 2, "I'm Still Alive,"  and "Punji Pits," and "In the Trenches with the Holy Spirit." Thank you for joining us.STEPHANIE:   Welcome, Dr. Wright.CHARLES:      Thank you, Stephanie.STEPHANIE:  Before we get started on our topic of the Holy Spirit in spiritual warfare and military warfare, let's tell our listeners a little bit about you.            Charles served in the United States Army from August 3, 1966, to August 2, 1968. He was an infantry specialist medic. He served in Vietnam in 1967. He has received the Bronze Star with the "V" device for heroism and the Purple Heart for injuries he sustained in the war. He has also received the Vietnam Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal. After his service, he graduated from college, received his master's degree from Ohio Christian University. On June 7 of this year, he received his doctorate in theology from North Carolina College of Theology. He is an ordained bishop and apostle. He is the founder of Charles George Missions, Inc. He is the father of two daughters and five grandchildren, and my husband of 52 years.CHARLES: Thank you, Stephanie.STEPHANIE: Here is a definition of spiritual warfare that I came up with recently.Spiritual warfare is the ongoing battle between God and His holy forces against Satan and his unholy forces both in the heavenly realm and on earth for control over humanity and their destiny—eternal life or everlasting damnation.Would you like to comment on that, or should we proceed directly to the encounters you had, which probably give that definition life?(The podcast continues with Dr. Wright's accounts in Vietnam.)If you want to contact us or comment on this podcast, please visit our website and select www.cgmissions.com/podcasts, where all episodes are available by category in series format.
