Not every voice saying the name of Jesus is trustworthy. Not every passionate speaker dropping scripture is Spirit-led.
Satan knows scripture too.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what it really means to test the fruit — not the feelings, not the flair, not the follower count. You’ll learn how to spiritually and emotionally discern what’s behind the voice, the message, and the platform.
We talk about how manipulation hides behind charisma, how spiritual jargon gets weaponized, and how urgency, exclusivity, and scripture-dropping are often used to bypass accountability.
This is the chapter for anyone who’s ever second-guessed a gut check, stayed silent because a voice “sounded spiritual,” or been made to feel unholy for asking questions.
By the end, you'll be prepped with clarity, confidence, and biblical tools to begin spotting real fruit… and real fraud.
