11. Recognizing and Responding to God Part 1 w/ Grace Wilkinson In this new season of One Another, Scott and Grace discuss the all important, yet often confused topic of discernment. Most of us think of discernment as solely decision making. However, the biblical discernment is both recognizing and responding to God in ordinary, everyday life—not just in big decisions. Or, as St. Ignatius writes, "Finding God in all things in order that we might love and serve God in all." This means that the heart of discernment is relationship. That is, regardless of the outcome, the key question in recognizing and responding to God is, "Am I closer to God, myself, others, etc.?" And closeness to God is equivalent to life itself.
