Welcome to another episode of "The Bible Project daily Podcast"., where we explore biblical principles applied to contemporary life. In today's episode, we dive into Deuteronomy 18:9-22 to understand the kind of prophets we should pay attention to and why it's crucial to distinguish between true and false prophecy. We'll uncover the modern-day equivalents of ancient practices and learn how to navigate the spiritual landscape with biblical discernment.
