About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of discernment over reaction in a fast-paced news environment, particularly for followers of Jesus.
When news breaks, the world reacts. But followers of Jesus are called to discern. In this episode, we talk about why discernment matters more than ever—especially when stories reach us stripped of context. Using recent headlines from both corporate and church culture, we unpack how to slow down, withhold quick conclusions, and seek the deeper truth beneath what we see. This conversation lays the groundwork for practicing wisdom in a reaction-driven age.
