In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we dive into 1 John 4:1–12 and unpack John’s call to “test the spirits.” In a world full of opinions about Jesus—especially online—how can believers discern what is actually true? We explore the historical context behind John’s warning, why the incarnation of Jesus is a non-negotiable truth for Christianity, and what happens when we become numb to the cost of the cross. We also talk about “familiarity blindness,” how it can make us comfortable with sin, and how remembering that God loved us first reshapes the way we love others. Finally, we discuss how a church community can make the invisible God visible through the way believers love one another—and why the ultimate evidence of knowing God’s truth is showing God’s love.
