In an age where reels and shorts put teaching and preaching and podcasts in your path constantly, biblical filters are critical to safeguard your soul from being subtly influenced by imprecise teaching. The goal is not skepticism, but real discernment to discern what is clear and true from what seems true. The Bereans did this well while still hungering to receive the Word.

This podcast is for Cornerstone Bible Church, and if you are at Cornerstone, God has placed you in a local context with shepherds who are known and have character that is known. The local church is your primary source of spiritual health and teaching and instruction. everything else is supplemental.

Not until the recent rise of the digital age did online teachers from all over the world find a place to present themselves to you instantly, ready to influence you as you scroll. We would never let someone wander into the church on a Sunday morning and begin teaching everyone without careful thought and a planned invitation, but we invite that into our lives as we scroll without really even thinking twice about it.

In this episode of Shepherds talk, Pastor Daron shares his heart and our convictions that come from passages of Scripture about the role of a local church in the life of a believer, and the men you should be primarily looking towards to feed you God's Word.
