The Three-Legged Stool of Trust

Aug 6, 2025    Stanton Petersen

When you're looking for advice, whether it's from a doctor, a mechanic, or a financial advisor, what do you look for? You want someone who is not only knowledgeable but also has a good reputation and is trusted by others in their field. You’re looking for someone reliable. In our spiritual lives, the stakes are infinitely higher. Choosing who to follow, who to learn from, isn't just a matter of preference; it's a matter of our spiritual health. Thankfully, the Bible doesn't leave us guessing. It gives us a clear, three-part test for finding a truly trustworthy guide.
