What is God’s will for your life—and how can you know if you’re missing it?

In this episode, we unpack one of the most common struggles Christians face: feeling lost when making big decisions. Whether you’re choosing a career, navigating a major life change, or wondering if you’ve made the wrong choices, this conversation brings clarity and biblical direction.

We explain the difference between God’s revealed will (what He clearly commands in Scripture) and His sovereign will (what He has ordained but not revealed). Instead of chasing certainty, believers are called to pursue faithfulness.
