A Good Model for an Open Mind

Many people are open to anything—cosmic energy, horoscopes, or personal feelings as ultimate truth—while closing their minds to Scripture. Acts 17 introduces us to the Bereans, a community that provides a timeless model of how to be truly open-minded. In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey explains how the Bereans received the Word with eagerness, examined the Scriptures daily, and allowed truth to shape their lives. Their approach wasn’t gullibility; it was discernment. They tested every claim by God’s Word and adapted their lives to what they found there—even when it caused conflict or personal cost. This study challenges us to anchor our faith in Scripture, not in shifting feelings, cultural fads, or popular opinions. Discover why biblical truth provides clarity when emotions or society suggest otherwise, and how daily time in God’s Word equips us for wisdom, conviction, and courage. If you want to learn how to discern truth in an age of confusion, this episode will encourage you to embrace the Berean model: open to God’s Word, eager for truth, and ready to live it out. _____ Stephen's latest book, Legacies of Light, Volume 2, is our gift for your special donation to our ministry.
