This is a podcast from the messages and sermons of Steve Milunovic. This is the result of study and Christian practices that have helped change and transform my mind more into the likeness of Jesus
Scripture: Proverbs 14:12; Romans 12:1–2; 1 Corinthians 2:12–15; Matthew 7:1–5.
Key themes: The examined life, discernment as good judgment, transformation through the Holy Spirit, recognizing worldly influences, biblical judgment without hypocrisy, and discipleship as a pathway to wisdom.
Description: Why do we make the decisions we make? How much of what we believe comes from carefully examining our lives, and how much comes from simply absorbing the attitudes and values of the world around us? Proverbs warns that there is a way that appears right but ultimately leads to death. Romans 12 gives us a different path: instead of conforming to the world, we are called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds so we can discern God's good, pleasing, and perfect will.
Discernment is essentially good judgment—the ability to recognize the difference between good and evil, truth and falsehood, and wisdom and foolishness. Like learning to read road signs or putting on special glasses that reveal a hidden picture, the Holy Spirit helps us see what we might otherwise miss. God's wisdom often looks foolish to the world, but it leads us toward the life He created us to live.
Jesus also teaches us how to exercise good judgment. His warning about judging others isn't an invitation to abandon discernment, but to recognize our own shortcomings and approach others with humility. We grow in this wisdom through discipleship, learning from Scripture and from mature Christians who have already navigated the situations we're facing.
Whether we're deciding which friends to surround ourselves with, what college to attend, or how to respond to a difficult situation, we don't have to stumble through life doing whatever feels right. We can grow in discernment, recognize the influences shaping us, and learn to choose God's wisdom over the wisdom of the world.

Proverbs 1 The Fear of The Lord - Wisdom
Scripture: Proverbs 1:1–7; 1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Timothy 6:11.
Key themes: wisdom and justice, fear of the Lord, navigating thing we can’t control, avoiding compromise, and fleeing from temptation.
Description: In this message, we continue our wisdom series in Proverbs 1 by looking at two major themes: the fear of the Lord and the connection between wisdom, righteousness, justice, and fairness. Wisdom helps us navigate life like a ship moving through icebergs—sometimes we can’t remove the obstacles, but we can learn how to move through them wisely. We also talk about why the better question is not always “Is this a sin?” but “Is this wise?” From school, habits, substances, relationships, and temptation, this message instructs us to draw the line far back from sin, flee what pulls us away from God, and pursue the kind of life that honors Him.

Proverbs 4: Is ___ a sin? - Wisdom
Scripture: Proverbs 4:1–9.
Key themes: Wisdom vs. folly, God’s desire to protect and guide us, wisdom as skillful living, learning the easy way instead of the hard way, avoiding life’s "icebergs", and pursuing the person God is shaping us to become.
Description: This message begins a new series on wisdom by asking us to imagine meeting our past self. What advice would you give? What mistakes would you warn yourself to avoid? And would your younger self actually listen? That tension helps us understand Proverbs 4, where a father passes on wisdom to his children and urges them to “get wisdom” no matter the cost.
In the Bible, wisdom is connected to skill—the ability to live well. A wise artist knows how to paint in the right order. A wise carpenter measures twice and cuts once. A wise sailor knows how to navigate through icebergs without sinking the ship. In the same way, God’s wisdom helps us navigate school, friendships, habits, goals, temptation, anxiety, and the kind of person we are becoming.
This message also helps us move beyond asking only, “Is this a sin?” Sometimes the better question is, “Is this wise?” Some choices may not immediately sink your life, but they can still knock you off course, slow you down, or make the journey harder than it needs to be. Proverbs reminds us that God is not trying to rob us of joy—He longs to give us wisdom for our good and for the good of others. The first step is humility: “I don’t know it all. I need help. I need wisdom.”
