6 - Discernment - How to Survive it.

In this episode, we dive deep into the often misunderstood spiritual gift of discernment—not just what it is, but how to survive carrying it. Discernment can feel like a superpower one moment and a burden the next. So how do you steward this gift without burning out?We also discuss how burden bearing is a part of discernment, and why it's essential to recognize when what you’re sensing is meant to be carried in prayer rather than just emotionally absorbed.Tricia shares a raw and personal story about how discernment led her to leave a church community—and how she navigated that season with wisdom and grace. We unpack the concept of diagnosis, prognosis, and prescription from a Graham Cooke’s story, and reflect on the power of timing: sometimes, discernment means simply watching and waiting—just like knowing when a head of grain is heavy and ready for harvest.We also highlight a helpful framework from a powerful story Murray shares about Chad and Jenn: Revelation. Interpretation. Application. Presentation. Timing. What you receive isn't always meant to be shared—or at least not right away.Discernment can feel incongruent or confusing at times, but in this episode, we offer tools, real-life stories, and spiritual insight to help you carry this gift well.
