In this deeply grounding and compassionate episode of Crowned & Called, Cheryl Lafer invites listeners into a sacred conversation about discernment—not as a harsh spiritual test, but as a gift that grows through relationship with God.

Many believers carry quiet confusion, wondering why certain “spiritual” decisions led to fear, pressure, or exhaustion instead of peace. 

In Called to Discern — When Advice Isn’t from God, Cheryl gently names a truth that brings freedom rather than shame:  
Many of us were not disobedient—we were undiscerning. 

This episode speaks especially to those who have:
- Followed advice that sounded wise, confident, or even biblical—but didn’t reflect God’s heart 
- Felt wounded by misapplied theology or well‑intentioned counsel 
- Experienced spiritual confusion after seasons of seeking, transition, or renewal 
- Been navigating the shift from New Age spirituality into rooted Christian faith 
- Wondered how to recognize God’s voice amid spiritual noise

With warmth and clarity, Cheryl walks listeners through the difference between confidence and compassion, control and Christ‑centered counsel, and pressure versus the peace of the Holy Spirit. 

Drawing from Scripture—including Job 4, John 10:27, Isaiah 30:21, Hebrews 4:16, and Psalm 34—this episode reveals how sincere advice can still be wrong when it lacks listening, love, and God’s character.

This episode is not about revisiting the past with regret.  It’s about redeeming discernment for the future—so what lies ahead is marked by peace, clarity, and confidence in God’s voice.

If you’ve ever asked, “Was that really God?”—this episode is a safe place to listen, reflect, and grow.
