How Do I Find God’s Will for My Life? // Ask Pastor John

Security, comfort, and wealth aren’t the primary guides for our job decisions. God is. But how do we discern his will?

“Pastor John, hello, my name is Sandra. I’m a junior at Ohio State University. Thank you for this podcast and your eagerness to hear from college students. I have been saved for about a decade, and I love Christ. In books I read and in conferences I attend, it seems more and more that I am being told to understand God’s calling over me and my life. And I would sure love to know it! But I struggle here.

“Maybe I will go into business. Maybe I will be a mom caring for a home. Maybe I’ll even be a missionary? It would be helpful to know what God has for me, but I don’t even know where to begin this process, other than to pray. How can I discover God’s calling over my life? Where do I even begin?”
