It is vital as believers that we learn to discern. We need to acquire wisdom so we can walk in truth. Wisdom is word based and God given. We learn it from the word of God and ultimately from the God who gave us the Word.

He described his Christian faith not as a cultural inheritance but as a personal conviction. The boldness of the righteous, as Proverbs says, is not the boldness of the reckless. It is the boldness of the convinced, the man or woman who has settled something in the secre…","meta_description":"Give Me Liberty #RTTBROS #Nightlight #USA250 #Nation250 #America250 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. — Proverbs…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":137,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/rttbros-107316/episodes/give-me-liberty-rttbros-nightlight-usa250-nation250-america250/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rttbros-107316/give-me-liberty-rttbros-nightlight-usa250-nation250-america250.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
