Show by Momentum Media Advertising

Ever wondered how to know the direction you're sensing is truly from God? In this episode, Jessica and Wilbert unpack Irwin Brown's practical teaching on discerning God's leading, drawing on five instruments of guidance: Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, peace, and circumstances.You'll learn why God's direction usually arrives as a convergence rather than a lightning bolt, and how to tell the difference between his voice and the noise of pressure, fear, and personal desire. Wilbert offers simple tests, like asking whether a sense of urgency is leading or driving you, and whether you could be at peace if God said no.The most surprising insight is how easily circumstances can mislead, and why an open door is not the same as an assignment. Jessica brings the honest listener questions, from distracted prayer times to cheerleader friends who offer support without truth.You'll leave with a practical exercise you can use this week to run a real decision through all five instruments, plus the encouragement that God steers a moving boat more easily than a docked one.00:00 — Cold open: the voices we label as God04:00 — The five instruments and Scripture as compass08:00 — Prayer as tuning the radio12:00 — Pressure, fear, and desire versus God's leading16:00 — Wise counsel and peace20:00 — Circumstances, Jonah, and a practical exercise24:00 — Outro and open loop
