Podcasts about discerning god

In this week's Sermon Extra, Pastor Nick and Intern Timothy Smith discuss Nehemiah 6 and what it means to discern and prioritize the callings God places on your life.How do you know the difference between a good opportunity and a great calling? And how do you stay focused when distractions — even good ones — try to pull you away from what God has asked you to do?We explore the tension between God's will and specific callings, looking at Nehemiah's response to opposition as a model of clarity and obedience.Tim also shares his journey into ministry — serving at White Fields, leading in Young Adults, and pursuing seminary — and how God shapes calling over time.If you've ever wondered what to prioritize or how to stay faithful to what God has put in front of you, this conversation is for you.

Open Forum The forum began with a robust discussion on Greek life. Pastor Amos cautioned against involvement, citing cult-like elements, while Stephanie and Toya offered nuanced personal perspectives. Concerns were also raised about possible Masonic ties to these organizations. Sonja and Pastor Amos addressed issues with text message responses, attributing them to ambiguity or the absence of clear systems, and announced an upcoming Bible study focused on clarity. Pastor Amos reaffirmed the one-hour format for Friday Bible studies and noted a potential unrecorded discussion to follow. Monique shared her struggles with discerning God's will through recurring dreams, sparking a broader conversation about balancing work, calling, and financial sustainability, including suggestions on automating tasks and choosing clients wisely.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments

Don't miss tomorrow's release Before We Belong--the PREQUEL to the whole series FREE from Heidi's WEBSITE. A Place to Belong by Heidi Gray McGill Some fresh starts begin in silence… others begin with a baby's cry. Josephine Blake has run out of places to hide. Pregnant and burdened by secrets, she flees the whispers of Philadelphia, clinging to the hope that her former boardinghouse roommate in Shumard Oak Bend will take her in. When a weathered but kind-hearted miner offers her a ride west, she dares to believe she might finally outrun her shame. But hope comes at a price… and Josephine isn't sure she can afford it. Jeremiah Remington lost everything in the war—his family, his home, even one arm. Now a quiet fixture in the growing town, he avoids entanglements, content to live on the edges of community. But when Josephine arrives with wary eyes, an iron will, and a child on the way, Jeremiah is drawn to something he thought he'd given up for good—a second chance at family. As Christmas nears and the town orphanage opens its doors, Josephine is offered a new beginning—not just for herself, but for her daughter. But when the past threatens to unravel it all, she must decide: keep running… or stay and fight for the place—and the man—God may have prepared for her. A marriage of convenience. A scandalous past. A baby who changes everything. And the kind of love only a Savior can give. If your heart longs for stories of quiet redemption, fierce hope, and homes built one act of grace at a time, A Place to Belong will welcome you in. Fans of Misty M. Beller, Liz Tolsma, Karen Witemeyer, and Jody Hedlund will feel right at home in this heartfelt Christmas novella. A Place to Belong is a standalone Christmas companion novella in the Discerning God's Best series, following Healing of the Heart (Book 5).  Learn more about Heidi on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

Life is full of crossroads. Jobs. Moves. Relationships. Direction. Many Christians stress over decision-making because they fear missing God's will. Pastor Jeff and Tiffany discuss how Scripture shows God guiding His people through everyday decisions with wisdom and steadiness. They discuss the four steps that bring clarity and peace, and the five “landing lights” that help believers discern God's voice with confidence. What We Discussed04:11 Double-Mindedness and Spiritual InstabilityJames 1 describes wavering between decisions as “double-mindedness.” He compares it to staggering like a drunk; anxious, unsure, and unstable.05:08 The Wrong Ways We Try to Find God's WillCommon but misguided approaches people use are waiting for emotional tingles, relying on formulas, or looking for mystical signs written in the sky. These methods don't reflect how God normally guides His people.07:00 Four Steps for Discerning God's WillAdmit you need a guide; God leads the humble, not the self-reliant. Ask in faith for direction and listen for God's response. Trust God when you don't understand14:19 The Five Landing Lights of God's GuidancePastor Jeff walks through the five markers that help confirm God's direction:Landing Light #1: A Multitude of Godly CounselorsLanding Light #2: Personal DesiresLanding Light #3: The Peace of the Holy SpiritLanding Light #4: External CircumstancesLanding Light #5: The Word of God22:14 Step 4: Trust God When You Don't UnderstandGod rarely shows the full plan. He often gives light only for the next step. Trust becomes essential when the future is unclear. 23:41 God's Will Is Not HiddenGod delights in guiding His people. The same Shepherd who leads is the One who laid down His life, so His guidance can be trusted fullyBook: Making Life Decisions: Journey in Discernment by Geoff Pound“The Shepherd who directs your steps is the same Shepherd who laid down His life for you.

Discover the radical middle of Christian decision-making and discerning God's will.Christians often fall into two ditches, either ignoring God's voice entirely or freezing up waiting for a divine memo on every little choice. Join us as we explore how to live in the “radical middle”—that sweet spot of leaning not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6) while trusting God in all things.We'll help you discern when you need a clear word from the Holy Spirit, and when it's time to step out in faith with the wisdom God's given. Whether you're navigating career moves, relationships, or daily spiritual growth, this conversation equips you to discern God's will without extremes.0:00 – Introduction3:53 – Personal Story6:39 – Life of Jesus: Led by the Spirit10:54 – Wedding at Cana and Divine Timing21:18 – Gethsemane Prayer and Surrender27:06 – Teachings of Jesus on Holy Spirit Guidance34:55 – Life of Apostles: Guidance in Acts49:38 – Teachings of Apostles: Will of God in Epistles56:39 – Best Practices for Discerning God's Will1:00:00 – Closing Thoughts Hey Guys, Josh Lewis here.

Many believers wrestle with one of the most common questions in the Christian life: How do I know God's will for me?In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany begin a new mini-series on Learning and Discerning God's Will. Pastor Jeff shares five key ways God reveals His will: Through Scripture, prayer, circumstances, other believers, and His direct leading. God's will is not hidden from His people but revealed to those who walk closely with Him.What We Discussed01:09 Discerning God's WillPastor Jeff explains why many Christians view God's will as something difficult to find, and how it's often simpler than we think when our hearts are in the right place.03:30 Two Approaches to God's WillSome believers wait passively for God to act, while others move forward and trust Him to guide or redirect. Pastor Jeff discusses finding a healthy balance between the two.05:12 Preparing the HeartBefore learning and discerning God's will, our hearts must be right with God. There are four steps of preparation: Yield fully to God, be willing to obey, confess known sin, and ask for His guidance.07:04 God Desires to Reveal His WillTiffany reads Colossians 1:9 and 1 John 5:14-15, reminding listeners that God wants His children to know His will and equips them with spiritual wisdom and understanding.09:11 Five Ways to Learn and Discern God's WillPastor Jeff outlines five ways God reveals His will: through Scripture, prayer, life circumstances, the counsel of other believers, and His direct leading.18:02 God's Direct LeadingWhile rare, God sometimes provides clear direction through His Word or the Holy Spirit. Pastor Jeff cautions believers to test every message against Scripture and seek wise counsel.19:21 Living in God's WillDiscerning God's will starts with the heart. When we are yielded, prayerful, and obedient, we can trust that we are already walking in His will.“If you want to know what God wants, you have to want what God wants.” – Steve BrownWe love your feedback!

This three-part series kicks off with John and Blaine Eldredge talking about the lost art of noticing what God is up to in our lives—not just today but over time. While clarity is essential, the ultimate goal is to come into alignment with what God is doing. How do we do that? In Part 1, John and Blaine lay a solid foundation by revealing three specific suppositions for discerning God's work in our lives so we can join him there.Show Notes: The books referenced are The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis, Now and Then by Frederick Buechner, and The Inner Chamber and the Inner Life by Andrew Murray. The “3 Presuppositions for Discerning God's Work in Your Life” are: 1) God is speaking to all people at all times.2) Most people don't learn to discern God's work in isolation.3) God is interested in intimacy—and that means conversation, not observation._______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?
