What if survival depends on hearing His voice above every other voice?

The Afterglow is a reflective podcast from the Echoes of Truth Network, created as a place to sit with the weight of truth after it’s been spoken. Each week, @jtfollowsjc and @TuneThyHeart discuss heavy conversations on JT’s Mixtape, and The Afterglow exists for the quiet moments that follow, when humility, discernment, and faith are required.

In Episode 6, we go deeper than information.

We talk about why as deception increases and the world gets darker, the most dangerous thing a believer can do is stay distracted. We live in a society intentionally programmed to keep us busy, preoccupied, and constantly consuming noise — but there is no way to make it through what’s coming without learning how to hear His voice above every other voice.

This episode is not about collecting more theories.
It’s about intimacy with Jesus.

Discernment without intimacy becomes suspicion.
Truth without closeness to Jesus becomes noise.

We discuss:
• Why distraction is one of the enemy’s greatest strategies
• Discernment vs suspicion and why intimacy changes everything
• The nonstop noise of clips, podcasts, and theories
• Being still before God and shutting the door to pray
• “Keep yourselves from idols” and what idols look like today
• Why the rabbit hole must lead back to Christ
• What it truly means to believe in Jesus
• Walking this out together through prayer and community

Scripture shared in this episode:
Matthew 24:24
Psalm 46:10
Matthew 6:6
1 John 5:20–21
Matthew 6:33

May the noise fade and only the love of Jesus remain.
