S3E09 How to Discern God's Will with Jesus!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Raz and I dive into one of the most important—and often confusing—questions in the Christian life: How do I know God’s will?
We start by reframing the way we think about it.
God’s will isn’t first about making the “right” decision—it’s about living with the Father who is already at work. Jesus isn’t distant, waiting for us to figure things out; He is present, inviting us into relationship in every moment—even in the ordinary, everyday parts of life.
Key Ideas from This Episode
1. The Father is always at work
God is not passive or silent—He is active, present, and moving in your life right now. Discerning His will begins with recognizing that reality.
2. Jesus wants to be with you in everything
Not just the “big decisions,” but the mundane moments—work, conversations, errands, parenting. The will of God is often found in walking with Him, not just choosing for Him.
3. Acknowledge Him in everything
Scripture gives us a simple but powerful invitation:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart… in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
— Proverbs 3:5-6
Discerning God’s will grows out of a lifestyle of trust and continual awareness of His presence.
4. You can hear His voice
Every believer is one of Jesus’ sheep—and Jesus is clear:
“My sheep hear my voice…”
— Gospel of John 10:27
Hearing God isn’t reserved for a few—it’s part of your identity as His child.
Final Encouragement
You don’t have to strive to figure out God’s will from a distance.
You get to walk with Him.
And as you acknowledge Him in your everyday life, you’ll begin to notice something:
He really does direct your paths.
