In this episode, we explore Acts 17 and one of the most stunning truths in Scripture: God is completely self-sufficient. He needs nothing, depends on nothing, and is fully satisfied in Himself. And yet—He chose to give us everything in Christ.

We’ll reflect on why the God who made the world stepped into it, why the incarnation magnifies His grace, and how receiving the gift of salvation displays His generosity.

A short, rich devotional to help you worship the God who needs nothing but loves sinners deeply.

In this episode of The Recovering Pharisee, we slow down and ask a big question: How does God speak today?

Many Christians use phrases like, “God told me to take this job” or “I feel called to move,” but rarely stop to ask if that language lines up with how Scripture says God guides His people. This is part 3 in a series on discerning God’s will, and we are pressing into the sufficiency and authority of the Bible for real life decisions.

In this episode we cover:

• How we got here: sovereign will, moral will, and permissive will
• What the Bible teaches about inspiration and sufficiency (2 Tim 3, Heb 1, 2 Pet 1, Psalm 19)
• Why Scripture is not just one of God’s voices but the only one He guarantees
• Why “God told me” Christianity feels spiritual but can be spiritually dangerous
• The difference between revelation (closed) and illumination (ongoing)
• How God actually leads His people today: by His Word, by wisdom, by providence
• A case study: a family “called” to move across the country, and how to walk that out with biblical clarity instead of mystical language

We also talk through real heart questions:

• What do we mean when we say we “feel peace” about a decision?
• How important is a healthy, gospel preaching local church when considering a move or a job?
• Are we running toward something godly, or just running away from something hard?

My hope is that this conversation pulls you out of superstition and into stability. You do not need secret whispers from heaven when God has already spoken clearly in His Word.

Christians throw around the word “calling” all the time. But what does Scripture actually mean by it? In this episode, we cut through the noise, the feelings, and the mystical clichés to recover a clear, biblical view of calling rooted in Christ, holiness, and obedience. This is part of an ongoing series on discerning God’s will.
