Where do you get advice (AITA)?



Hey Reader!

I read a fascinating article this week about how we're crowdsourcing asking for advice to strangers on the internet. It feels safer, we don't have to build up so much trust, and we can filter what we like and don't like.

But we also don't know whether the people giving us the advice are living lives in shambles or are really qualified. Have they earned the right to give out advice?

Have you found yourself following the AITA threads? Do you know what that means?? I didn't. 🤫

Check out this insightful article (from a Christian mom) about how we're crowdsourcing our morality.

Feel free to hit reply and let me know what you think!

That's all for now!

PS. I can't wait to share with you this amazing blog post on biblical mindset that I'm putting the finishing touches on. It'll be in your inbox next Saturday, if you don't catch it on social media sooner! You don't want to miss it!

PPS. The AITA internet phenomenon reflects confusion, the need for community, and opportunities for us to witness as Christians.


Verse of the Week

“The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.” - Proverbs 12:15 (NIV)
“Good friend, don’t forget all I’ve taught you;
take to heart my commands.
They’ll help you live a long, long time,
a long life lived full and well.” - Proverbs 3:1-2 (MSG)

The real question is: where do you get your advice? Who do you trust to speak into your life? Are they giving you wise biblical counsel or are just telling you what they thing you want to hear?

I find it hard to find wise counselors. Many friends and family just tell you what they hear the culture saying rather than what God would have us discern from his word and a life lived serving him.

Take a moment and think about any advice you've received recently. Was it helpful and honoring of God? Was that person giving solid biblical wisdom? Who could you seek out for wisdom in the future?
