How can a teaching feel true and still lead you away from God?
In this episode of PREPPED join James Spencer, PhD, as we dissect the subtle dangers of false teaching—particularly the kind that offers comfort at the expense of truth. From the lure of “terrible simplicity” to teachings that twist Scripture to serve political or personal agendas, Dr. Spencer invites us into a thoughtful conversation on discernment, integrity, and the importance of embracing theological complexity.
We’ll examine how messages that sound biblical can sometimes redirect our desires away from God, looking at examples such as Job’s friends and modern “ear-scratching” ideologies. Along the way, you’ll gain tools to recognize the difference between faithful teaching and distortion—and why protecting the richness of Scripture is essential for spiritual maturity
