Lost in Translation — Hearing God vs. Hearing People

Not everything said “in Jesus’ name” carries the heart of Jesus. In this episode, Corinne unpacks how to recognize the Holy Spirit’s still, small voice, what to do when a friend says “God told me…” but it doesn’t sit right, how to test extreme “revelations,” and when it’s wise to walk away to protect your peace. Expect practical frameworks, scripture anchors, and a real story of losing a friendship—and finding deeper discernment.

In this episode:

• How the Holy Spirit actually speaks: inner witness, holy nudges, conviction vs. condemnation
• What to do when a “God told me…” message feels off
• A 4-question filter for dramatic claims (Does it exalt Jesus? Bear the fruit of the Spirit? Align with the whole Bible? Allow questions?)
• A 5-step process for making sense of conflicting messages
• Why guarding your heart is spiritual—and when to leave a manipulative dynamic

Key Takeaways

• God doesn’t usually shout—He witnesses with peace and clarity.
• The Spirit and the Word always agree.
• Testing messages isn’t unbelief; it’s obedience (1 John 4:1).
• Healthy leadership welcomes questions; control demands compliance.
• You can be loving and discerning at the same time.

If this helped you, share it with a friend who’s been confused by “God told me” moments. And tell me your story—I might do a part two on spiritual gaslighting and how to spot it.
