In this episode of The Silver Lining Podcast with Luke and Monica, the conversation gets real about peace, counsel, and confusion — and how to recognize God’s voice when everyone else seems to have an opinion. 

Monica opens up about a pivotal season in her life, when dating, divorce recovery, and godly counsel all collided. She shares the peace she felt after ending a relationship that “looked right” but wasn’t right — and the unexpected moment she was called into her pastor’s office for a difficult conversation that left her seeking clarity and confirmation from God’s Word. 

Luke and Monica unpack what it really means to: 

• Trust God’s peace over people’s approval
• Receive godly counsel without outsourcing your relationship with God
• Discern between “good intentions” and “God’s direction”
• Understand that confusion isn’t from God — peace is
• See how necessary endings can lead to divine beginnings

Scripture references:
1 Corinthians 14:33 • 2 Timothy 1:7 • John 10:10 • Proverbs 11:14 • Psalm 1:1–2 • Isaiah 26:3

Key Quotes:
 

“Peace is the confirmation; confusion is the caution.”
 “Counsel should confirm what God has whispered, not contradict it.”
 “You can’t outsource your relationship with God.”
 “If you have to talk yourself into peace, it’s not peace.”
 “The right counsel will draw you closer to Jesus, not deeper into confusion.”

Whether you’re walking through a breakup, trying to find wisdom in relationships, or just learning to quiet the noise and listen for God’s peace — this one will speak straight to your heart.
 
Listen in, laugh a little, and leave with clarity that only comes from the Prince of Peace.
