Today we’re talking about a powerful but often misunderstood spiritual gift—the gift of discerning of spirits. This God-given insight helps us recognize what is from the Holy Spirit, what’s simply human, and what may be influenced by the enemy. 

When used well, it brings clarity, protection, and wisdom to the church. But it’s important to distinguish true discernment from being critical or suspicious. The genuine gift reflects the Holy Spirit’s character—love, humility, and a desire to build up. A critical or suspicious spirit, however, assumes the worst, focuses on fault-finding, and often causes unnecessary division.

In today’s episode, Shaun and Chantelle Searle who lead the JoshGen Gordon's Bay congregation and Dylan Jones who leads the Muiznebrg congregation, explore what this gift really is, how to grow in it, and how to exercise it in a healthy, Christ-centered way that strengthens the church.
