Discernment, why having the right men around you is important for community, life.
The word discern and its derivatives are translations of the Greek word anakrinoin the New Testament. It means “to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.” Discernment is the ability to properly discriminate or make determinations. It is related to wisdom. The Word of God itself is said to discern the thoughts and intentions of one’s heart.

Key Bible Verses in this episode. 1 Corinthians 2:14 -The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 14:33 -For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.
We are commanded to “hate what is evil; cling to what is good” (Romans 12:9). But, unless we have true discernment, how can we determine what is “evil” and what is “good”? In order to maintain the purity of the gospel, the church must distinguish truth from heresy.
Wisdom also demands that we properly discriminate between what is “best” and what is merely “good.”
