Summary
In this teaching from Matthew 7:15-20, we unpack Jesus' warning about false prophets and the unmistakable test of spiritual fruit. What does it really mean to recognize a wolf in sheep's clothing? How do we balance discernment with humility in a culture that confuses truth with judgmentalism? And most importantly, what counts as real fruit in the life of a believer?

If you're joining us live, I'm glad you did. Thank you so much for being a part of it. Thank you for commitment for your commitment to being a part of what we do every day here on Before the Noise. If you're just joining us, my name is Chad Prather. |
| 0:39.5 | These are my devotional thoughts. People sit in with me, and I'm glad that you do. I'm thankful that you do. If you're on the Rumble chat, please blow it up with something. Say something.

| 1:52.1 | there. Yeah. There we go. Rumble. But I want the Lord to commune with my heart, speak to me. |
| 1:58.1 | And then out of the overflow of what I feel like the Lord is saying to me, |
| 2:01.7 | then we can we can share it together. I hope you're getting something out of these messages. |
