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.
