What do you do when someone says, “God told me…” — and how do you actually know if it was God?

In Episode 18 of the Like Father, Like Son Podcast, Pastors Deryck Frye, Devon Frye, and host Michael Tirpak unpack one of the most misused and misunderstood phrases in the church today. This conversation is raw, honest, funny, and deeply needed for anyone trying to discern the voice of God in a noisy world.

We dive into the heart of prophetic culture — the beauty of it, the danger of it, and the responsibility that comes with saying, “God said.” From personal stories and past experiences to biblical wisdom and practical discernment, this episode challenges the way we think about prophecy, hearing God, and spiritual maturity.
