When Advice Goes Wrong
We live in an age overflowing with advice — from social media gurus to professional consultants, from friends to influencers. But not all counsel is created equal. In this episode, we revisit one of the most sobering leadership stories in Scripture: David’s flight from Absalom and the competing counsel of Ahithophel and Hushai.
Through this story, we learn three timeless lessons:
- Discern the source — Wisdom isn’t about eloquence; it’s about godliness.
- Surround yourself with truth-tellers — Seek counsel from those who fear God more than they fear offending you.
- Trust God’s sovereignty — Even when advice goes wrong, God’s purposes remain right.
This 10–12 minute reflection will encourage you to think deeply about the voices shaping your decisions — and remind you that God is still directing your path, even through the noise.
