In this episode, we’re talking about the power of small choices and how they shape our lives. We often overlook the little things we do daily, but they add up in ways we may not realize. Whether we’re building success or heading towards failure, it all comes down to our daily habits.

In this episode, we’ll discuss the importance of holding fast to sound doctrine in a world full of differing teachings. I’ve been reflecting on this a lot lately, and I want to share some thoughts on why it’s so crucial to remain faithful to the core truths of our faith, even when it's challenging not to withstand. I hope this episode inspires you to dig into the word of God yourself as we see Paul praised this within Acts 17 when he was teaching.

The Bible isn't meant solely for intellectual examination; rather, it serves as a lens through which we see Jesus. Scriptures themselves don't possess life; they direct us to Jesus, who is the source of life. It's not merely about knowing about Jesus; it's about actively seeking and embracing Him.

Spiritual transformation starts in the mind and heart. A mind dedicated to the world and its concerns will produce a life tossed back and forth by the currents of culture. But a mind dedicated to God’s truth will produce a life that can stand the test of time. We can resist the temptations of our culture by meditating on God’s truth and letting the Holy Spirit guide and shape our thoughts and behaviors.

Feedback is like a mirror reflecting aspects of ourselves that we might not see clearly. It's natural to feel uneasy about seeking feedback. After all, it requires us to be vulnerable, and the insights it provides can sometimes sting. But embracing feedback is essential because it unveils our blind spots and opens avenues for improvement.

"In its simplest definition, discernment is nothing more than the ability to decide between truth and error, right and wrong. Discernment is the process of making careful distinctions in our thinking about truth. In other words, the ability to think with discernment is synonymous with an ability to think biblically.

First Thessalonians 5:21-22 teaches that it is the responsibility of every Christian to be discerning: "But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil." The apostle John issues a similar warning when he says, "Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1). According to the New Testament, discernment is not optional for the believer-it is required."
