13 tests: praise, obscurity, silence, pain, and God's will

The article's test of praise (Proverbs 27:21) gets fact-checked live: looked up, the verse reads 'so a person should refine his praise' — about what you praise, not applause received — undercutting the article's use. David's non-anointing (1 Samuel 16) is read as God's countercultural seeing, not fatherly neglect. The hosts reject 'the world will know us by our love, not preaching or miracles' as a false exclusion, debate the thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12), and land on a key caution: God's will is not always done — don't prescribe meaning for every hardship; be faithful in the means.
