Life is full of crossroads. Jobs. Moves. Relationships. Direction. Many Christians stress over decision-making because they fear missing God’s will.
Pastor Jeff and Tiffany discuss how Scripture shows God guiding His people through everyday decisions with wisdom and steadiness. They discuss the four steps that bring clarity and peace, and the five “landing lights” that help believers discern God’s voice with confidence.
What We Discussed
04:11 Double-Mindedness and Spiritual Instability
James 1 describes wavering between decisions as “double-mindedness.” He compares it to staggering like a drunk; anxious, unsure, and unstable.
05:08 The Wrong Ways We Try to Find God’s Will
Common but misguided approaches people use are waiting for emotional tingles, relying on formulas, or looking for mystical signs written in the sky. These methods don’t reflect how God normally guides His people.
07:00 Four Steps for Discerning God’s Will
Admit you need a guide; God leads the humble, not the self-reliant. Ask in faith for direction and listen for God’s response. Trust God when you don’t understand
14:19 The Five Landing Lights of God’s Guidance
Pastor Jeff walks through the five markers that help confirm God’s direction:
22:14 Step 4: Trust God When You Don’t Understand
God rarely shows the full plan. He often gives light only for the next step. Trust becomes essential when the future is unclear.
23:41 God’s Will Is Not Hidden
God delights in guiding His people. The same Shepherd who leads is the One who laid down His life, so His guidance can be trusted fully

“The Shepherd who directs your steps is the same Shepherd who laid down His life for you. He can be trusted with your next decision.” – Pastor Jeff Cranston
