    Environmental Assessments: The Voice of the Lord
    Master’s Keys Podcast | Elder Nathan Crawford
    Elder Nathan continues the series on examining the Word of God as an environment, using spiritual assessments to gain a deeper understanding of the value, influence, and importance of God’s Word in our lives.
    In this episode, Elder Nathan explores The Voice of the Lord, anchored in John 10:27: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
    As believers, we desire to hear and recognize the voice of the Lord. However, when examining our spiritual environment, we must recognize that we are constantly surrounded by competing voices. The voices of the world, the enemy, and even the opinions of others can influence our thinking, decisions, identity, and spiritual direction.
    Through this environmental assessment, Elder Nathan challenges us to examine which voices we are allowing to shape our environment, how well we recognize the voice of God, and whether our lives are aligned with what He has spoken.
    The central question is this: In an environment filled with competing voices, do we truly know the voice of the Shepherd?
    Discover the value of God’s Word, learn to discern His voice, and understand why the voice we listen to ultimately influences the environment in which we live.

  • Assessing the environment of the Word!
    Assessing the Environment of the Word” is about learning to discern the voices, context, and spiritual source of what is recorded in Scripture so that we rightly understand what God is revealing. The Bible faithfully records the words of God, the words of humanity, and even the words of the enemy—but everything recorded is not necessarily something God said or endorsed. Therefore, we must assess who is speaking, who is being addressed, what is happening, and how the passage aligns with the character and revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus remains the ultimate lens because He is the Word made flesh (John 1:1, 14).
