This episode explores how discernment is not rooted in striving or perfect clarity, but in trusting God’s testimony through Jesus, living aligned with His truth, and listening to the Spirit’s guidance.

As the season concludes, listeners are encouraged to guard their hearts from idols, stay anchored in the real Jesus, and step forward into everyday life with holy confidence, peace, and purpose.

This episode of the Living Loved Podcast focuses on 1 John 4 and the biblical call to discern the spirits.

Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, our host Samantha Chambo explains how John teaches believers to test what they hear by looking for three key markers: a true confession of Jesus Christ who came in the flesh, a life shaped by God’s sacrificial love, and freedom from fear and condemnation.

Listeners are invited to pay attention not only to messages they receive, but also to who they are becoming—because wherever the Holy Spirit is at work, hearts soften, love grows, and truth leads us closer to God and one another.

In this episode of the Living Loved Podcast, Samantha Chambo explores how love sharpens discernment when relationships are marked by hurt, mistrust, and misunderstanding. Drawing from 1 John 3:1–24, we learn how confident identity in Christ, embodied love, and an examined heart allow believers to engage difficult people with clarity rather than defensiveness.
