What Is Biblical Discernment and Why It Matters

What is biblical discernment, and why is it essential for every Christian today? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains what Scripture teaches about biblical discernment and how believers are called to test everything by the Word of God. Anchored in Hebrews 5:14 and 1 Thessalonians 5:21, this episode shows that discernment is not suspicion or harsh criticism, but Word-centered wisdom shaped by spiritual maturity and love for truth. Dave walks through four biblical pillars of discernment, explaining how discernment protects believers from deception, strengthens spiritual growth, and helps Christians walk with clarity in a confused age. Truth matters. The gospel matters. Biblical discernment helps God's people stand firm in both.
