About this episode

This episode discusses how to seek God's direction and purpose in everyday decisions.

How do you know what God wants you to do with your life? Maybe you’re trying to decide about a job, relationship, move, school, or new opportunity. In this mini encouragement episode (under 20 minutes), we’re talking about how to seek God’s direction and purpose in everyday decisions. While we often want a clear sign or step-by-step instruction, Scripture shows us that God’s guidance often comes through prayer, wisdom, and faithful steps forward. In this episode, we talk about: Why the Bible is still our primary guide for life How to bring your plans before God in prayer Why God is not a God of confusion The role of wise counsel from trusted believers Taking steps of faith when you don’t have perfect clarityDoing the next right thing in the day-to-day If you’ve ever asked: How do I know God’s will for my life? Am I making the right decision? What if I choose the wrong path? This episode will encourage you that God is not trying to hide His will from you. He faithfully leads those who seek Him with open hearts. I also share a personal example from the She Lives Purposefully journey and how God often works through our gifts, practical opportunities, and faithful obedience. LINKS…
