Not all good advice is God advice.

In this episode, host Desiree McVicker unpacks the danger of allowing the wrong voices to shape your decisions, emotions, and marriage. Whether it comes from family, friends, social media, pastors, therapists, or even your own feelings, every voice must be filtered through the Word.

Desiree challenges wives to examine where they run when they are hurt, confused, offended, or looking for validation. She explains how advice that feels comforting can still lead you away from obedience, and how sitting in offense can create an open door for the enemy to influence your thoughts, posture, and home.

If you have been seeking clarity, validation, or direction from everyone but God, this episode will help you slow down, sharpen your discernment, and return to the only voice that can truly guide you.
