Welcome to One Single Story. Pastor Stephen Mizell is joined by Pastor Jay Rivenbark and special guest Sheryl Daughety for a conversation rooted in one of Proverbs' sharpest observations about friendship: "The godly give good advice to their friends; the wicked lead them astray."

Scripture Focus: Proverbs 12:26 - A single verse that opens a far-reaching discussion on the directional power of every relationship in our lives.

In This Episode:

Why the advice you give is a direct reflection of your relationship with God
The truth that there are no neutral relationships - every connection moves you toward God or away from Him
How to develop discernment in choosing friends and recognizing harmful intentions
Why sin and unchecked desires can block the very discernment we need most

Key Quote: "Relationships are directional. They're either moving you forward or backward. They're moving you toward God or away from God. Every relationship is."

This week on One Single Story, we are walking through the everyday wisdom of Proverbs - the words we speak, the effort we give, the peace we protect, and the friends we choose. Wisdom is not dramatic. It is practiced daily.
