What if your spiritual “taste buds” could keep you from swallowing bad teaching while still keeping your heart soft toward people? We sat with Job 12 and wrestled through what it means to let the ear test words and the mouth taste truth, moving beyond slogans to a lived practice of discernment. The conversation gets real about where to draw lines, how to respond to pushback from fellow believers, and why age or experience doesn’t automatically equal wisdom.

We explore the gap between having knowledge about God and walking with God. Job’s friends had facts but lacked love, and that mismatch shows up today when Scripture is used like a club instead of a tool for healing. You’ll hear why sometimes the Bible must function like a sword, and often like a scalpel—precise, careful, and aimed at restoration. We talk meditation on Scripture as a habit that trains the senses, how the Holy Spirit not only brings verses to mind but also restrains our tongues, and why correction without compassion is counterfeit wisdom.

Along the way, we share stories of repentance, growth in marriage and family life, and relearning doctrines we once assumed were right. We reflect on drawing boundaries with false teaching while keeping the door open for patient reasoning, setting aside denominational labels to pursue truth together. The goal is a faith that stands firm like Luther on first things and yet moves toward people with the mercy of Christ. If you’ve ever asked how to correct without crushing, or how to be bold without becoming brittle, this one will meet you in the tension and give you language, Scripture, and practices to carry into your next hard conversation.
