Is that voice in your head God’s conviction—or simply guilt and condemnation?
On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve breaks down an important part of Christian discernment: learning to recognize the difference between the voice that drives you toward shame and the conviction that calls you back into a right relationship with God.
Steve shares a personal example from his years as a young husband and father, when he felt enormous pressure to conduct the “perfect” family devotional. Over time, he discovered that biblical discipleship in the home is bigger than checking off a devotional box—it’s about making conversations about God part of everyday life.
Plus, in That’s Not in the Bible, Steve tackles the claim that “Jesus never said He was God.” What did Jesus mean when He declared, “Before Abraham was, I am”? And what do His own words reveal about His identity and eternal nature?
You’ll also hear part of Steve’s conversation with author Sabrina McDonald, author of The Bible, Politics and Culture: A Biblical Worldview Guide for Christian Women. They discuss why Christians need to know not only what they believe, but why they believe it, the reliability of Scripture, biblical worldview, family, culture, and the importance of allowing Scripture—not culture—to shape our thinking.
