What does wise counsel actually look like in real life? Who speaks into your life when things are hard and who speaks into your life when things are good?In this episode, we talk about the difference between consuming information and being truly discipled, how to recognize when your heart is ready to receive counsel, and why mentorship rooted in humility, not control, is essential for growth. This conversation is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, unsure who to listen to, or hungry for real spiritual guidance instead of surface-level motivation. We talk about stress after salvation, forgetting God when life gets comfortable, repentance, and why God must always remain our first and greatest counselor. If you are looking for direction, clarity, or wisdom in this season, this episode will meet you where you are and point you back to the One who leads best.Chapters:(0:00) Episode preview(2:14) Introduction to guest and topic Wise Counsel(4:04) Living one day ahead in faith(6:49) Receiving wise counsel while walking through cancer(9:20) Who counsels you after you are set free(11:38) Consuming information vs being discipled(12:52) Mentoring with the wrong motivation meeting people where they are(16:22) God met me in a Starbucks(19:10) How to know when your heart is ready to receive(21:42) Childlike faith in business and life(25:00) Stress and worry after being saved(27:02) How to find a mentor(29:42) God is our best mentor(32:20) Forgetting to go back to God when things are good(34:27) Repenting when we make other things our god(36:19) How often to meet with a mentor and the fighting diamond(40:22) Instructions for the person seeking counsel(41:58) Closing 2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]
