Summary
We are all shaped by significant life events, but equally important are the voices that interpret these events for us. These voices - whether from friends, media, or religious leaders - explain why things happen and what they mean. In biblical times, prophets served this role, but false prophets have always existed too. Scripture teaches us to test every voice claiming to speak for God using three criteria: what they say about Jesus, whether their wisdom is worldly or godly, and if they align with apostolic teaching. By carefully evaluating who we allow to shape our thinking, we can better discern truth from error in a world full of competing narratives.
