From Sanctuary Stirrings by Lori G Melton

About this episode
This episode explores how we discover God's will through the voices of others rather than solely through our own thoughts and emotions.
Faith is not always expressed in the ways we might expect--like kneeling in the Church sanctuary, reciting holy prayers, or putting money in the offering plate. Often, it’s more evident through painful acts of obedience. Tune in to this week’s episode for a story you’ll likely resonate with—one that explores how we discover God’s will not through your own thoughts, emotions, or circumstances alone, but through the voices of others.
