Ep. 21: Casting Lots and Causing Lawsuits [How Should Christians Discern God's Will?]

Should Christians take one another to court? The apostle Paul writing his first letter to the Corinthians didn't seem to think so. But was that something that that still applies today or was it related to their cultural context? On this episode we look at what was likely behind that passage and what it might mean for us today.

We also look at the ancient practice of casting lots to discern God's will, which was essentially doing a random drawing and trusting God to assure you picked correctly. Is this the best way for us to discern what God wants from us today? We walk through what this looked like for the ancient world and how there is a better way forward for Christians today, specifically seeking guidance from the Bible, prayer, and the Holy Spirit and challenge to step out in faith and take risks in obedience to God's will.
