Perception vs Reality (Part 1) Summary

In this episode, we explore the crucial difference between perception and reality and why that distinction matters so deeply in the Christian life. Feelings are real, but they are not always true. When perception becomes the foundation of our faith, confusion, conflict, and instability soon follow. Scripture calls believers to walk by faith, not by sight, allowing God’s Word to define reality rather than our emotions or circumstances. Through biblical truth and practical application, this episode helps listeners learn how to test their perceptions against Scripture, place emotions in their proper role, and find steady peace by anchoring their lives in truth that does not change.
