Episode Summary

The voice you choose to value is shaping the person you'll become. Influence is not passive—every voice you listen to is carving your future. In this episode, we uncover why what you believe gives you value determines whose voice you value, and how that can either release your purpose or chain you to insecurity.

We dive into:

• Which voices help and which destroy?

• How Saul's insecurity made him sabotage his calling (1 Samuel 18:6–9)

• Why jealousy keeps people stuck in cycles and seasons they should've left years ago

• Why attention feels good, but becomes dangerous if received from the wrong sources

• How to choose voices that speak life, truth, and growth into your destiny

• Why God's approval must matter more than public applause

🔥 Key Takeaways

• The voice you value reveals the future you're aligning with.

• What you think gives you value will control who you listen to.

• Saul protected insecurity more than calling—don't make the same trade.

• You wouldn't let just anyone in your house or your car. Why let just anyone in your mind?

• Favor, applause, and attention feel good—but they're not all safe.

• "Everybody who knows God may not want to see you win. And everybody who wants to see you win may not know God."

• Listen most to people who want you to win AND know God.

📜 Scripture Reference

1 Samuel 18:6–9 Saul became jealous when David received praise. → Insecurity turned celebration into competition. → He made enemies out of friends and hurt people who meant him no harm.

🧠 Reflection Questions

1. Who am I currently allowing to define my worth?

2. Which voices feed my purpose, and which feed my insecurity?

3. Do I value God's opinion more than people's approval?

⛔ Examples to Avoid

• Seeking validation from toxic sources (e.g. street life, unhealthy praise culture, online comparisons)

• Settling for any attention instead of healthy attention

• Ignoring wise correction because encouragement feels easier

💡 Final Challenge

Take control over the one thing God allows—your ear. Decide today to give it to voices that speak truth, growth, and vision into your future.
