Today’s episode takes a deep dive into all the easy ways that we are consistently wrong. If you are going to actively work to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, you’ve got to learn how to discern different methods of thinking and hearing. Metacognition is thinking about thinking, and our guest today, David McRaney of the You Are Not So Smart podcast is a great person to teach you about how we can become more right and less wrong about our thinking, even if we can’t ever be 100% sure of ourselves in every situation.
