Episode Description

<p>In this episode of the Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club, we continue wrapping up <em>The Spirit-Filled Life</em> by Charles Stanley by exploring one of the most important markers of living in step with the Holy Spirit: the Word of God.</p><p>If you want to know what the Holy Spirit is saying, you must know what He has already said. The Bible is not just a collection of stories—it is the Holy Spirit’s thoughts on paper. It is objective, timeless truth that anchors us when our emotions, desires, and circumstances try to pull us in different directions.</p><p>In this episode, I share why Scripture is the most reliable way to discern God’s will, the difference between subjective and objective study, and how to approach the Word in a way that produces spiritual maturity. I also share personal reflections on discipleship, parenting, and how God uses everyday moments to redirect us back to His truth.</p><p>We also announce our next Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club pick: <em>The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry</em> by John Mark Comer—a powerful follow-up that will help us establish a pace of life that keeps us aligned with the Spirit.</p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>The Bible is the Holy Spirit’s most objective tool for revealing God’s will</li><li>Scripture is not just stories—it is a living, relevant, and authoritative guide for our lives</li><li>Many believers rely too heavily on subjective feelings instead of objective truth</li><li>Spiritual maturity requires balancing personal application with disciplined, objective study</li><li>Principles in Scripture provide timeless guidance for decision-making</li><li>Eliminating hurry is essential to maintaining sensitivity to the Holy Spirit</li><li>Discipleship begins at home and in everyday conversations</li></ul><h2>Scripture References</h2><ul><li>2 Peter 1:20–21 — Scripture inspired by the Holy Spirit</li><li>Galatians 6:7 — You reap what you sow</li><li>Proverbs 13:20 — The influence of your associations</li><li>Proverbs 12:1 — Correction produces wisdom</li><li>Proverbs 12:19 — Truth endures</li><li>2 Corinthians 9:6 — Generosity produces increase</li><li>Philippians 4:19 — God provides for His people</li></ul><h2><br></h2><h2>Book Club Announcement: Our Next Read</h2><p>Our next Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club selection is:</p><p><strong>The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer</strong></p><p>This book addresses one of the greatest threats to our spiritual sensitivity: hurry.
