In a world where everything preaches, discernment isn’t optional. This episode unpacks how to test every message by the Bible—without becoming cynical. We outline clear red flags (Bible-light, man-centered, guilt-driven, promise-heavy), then practice a simple three-step check you can use right away: Context → Cross → Church (read verses in context, locate the gospel of Christ at the center, and weigh teaching with your local church community). Along the way, we highlight why clarity beats charisma and why loving truth is the most loving thing we can do for each other. You’ll learn:

• How to spot “Bible-ish” language that dodges the text
• Questions that reveal whether a message is God-centered or self-centered
• A practical way to compare claims with Scripture (Acts 17:11; 1 John 4:1)
• How to respond—with grace and courage—when teaching goes off-track

If this helps, share it with a friend, leave a review, and keep your Bible open. Truth sets us free—and it keeps the flock safe.
