If you're facing a decision right now, or wondering where God is in the middle of a season you didn't plan for, this series is going to meet you right where you are. Over the next four weeks, we're talking about discerning God's will and wayfinding to the good life, and it comes straight out of what I have personally been walking through as we've been discerning a major next step in my own life.

But before we get into decisions and direction, we have to start somewhere that might feel a little unexpected. We have to start with desire.

I know that word can feel uncomfortable, especially if you've grown up in the church hearing that desires are dangerous or selfish. But the Bible tells a very different story. Psalm 37:4 says God will give you the desires of your heart. Jesus Himself asks people over and over again, "What do you want?" And in John chapter 7, standing up at a Jewish festival in a loud voice that would have stopped everyone around Him, Jesus says, "Anyone who is thirsty may come to me." He is addressing a longing. He is meeting a desire. He is saying, if there is something in you that is unsatisfied, come to me.

So what do you actually want? Most of us are working from surface-level desires. I want that promotion. I want out of this pain. I want more money, more peace, more security. And those things are real. But underneath them is usually something deeper and truer. The desire for security. For love. For freedom from fear. For purpose. For a life that actually matters. And those deeper desires? Those are holy. Those are God-given. Those are actually reflecting the image of God in you.

We also look at what God promises about the good life, because here's something Jesus says that a lot of us have missed: the kingdom of God is not just heaven someday. In Luke 17:21, He says the kingdom of God is already among you. And Romans 14:17 tells us what that kingdom actually looks and feels like: goodness, peace, joy, and power in the Holy Spirit. That is what's available to you right now, not just one day, here on earth.

So this week, I want to give you one brave invitation: ask yourself what you really want. And then ask again, what is the desire under that desire? Be honest with God. Be courageous. Even if you've never talked to God before, start there. Because that's exactly where the discernment journey begins.

Reflection Questions

1. What do you want right now, in this season of your life?
2. What is the desire underneath that desire?
3. If you could experience goodness, peace, joy, and power in your everyday life, would that be what you want?
4. Where do you sense God might be inviting you to trust Him with your deepest longings?

What if one of the greatest threats to Christian witness isn’t corruption “out there”, but the everyday compromises we tolerate in our homes, workplaces, churches, and institutions?

In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Jason Watson speaks with Filipino lawyer Richelle Joy Belgira De Ocampo about why integrity is essential to credible Christian witness—and why good intentions alone are not enough.

Richelle argues that integrity and justice are more than ethical principles; they reflect the character of God. But living with integrity requires more than avoiding obvious forms of corruption like bribery or fraud. It means confronting the smaller compromises that can become normal in everyday life and building cultures of accountability that help Christians, churches, and institutions remain faithful.

Together, Jason and Richelle explore why integrity begins in the home, how Christians can respond when corruption is embedded in the systems around them, why churches need genuine accountability around money and leadership, and how discipleship can prepare believers to live faithfully wherever God has placed them.

If this episode challenged you, subscribe to the Lausanne Movement Podcast and share it with a pastor, church board member, ministry leader, or Christian professional who is thinking about what faithful Christian witness looks like in a culture where compromise can easily become normal.

We’d also love for you to join the conversation in the Lausanne Action Hub, where you can share your reflections and engage with our global podcast community. And please consider leaving a rating or review so others can discover the podcast too.

The question Jesus asked Simon at a dinner party two thousand years ago is the same question He is asking every one of us today: do you see this woman?

In episode 6 of A Life Unleashed, the series pivots from identity to calling, and Christine Caine shows that the two are inseparable. Because once Jesus has truly seen us, forgiven us, and welcomed us into His family, He mobilizes us to go with Him and see others. Calling is not primarily about a platform or a position. It begins with a question: can you see the people right in front of you?

In this episode, Christine Caine opens Luke 7:36–8:3 and unpacks the moment Jesus turns to Simon and asks the most searching question in the room. Simon had looked at the woman all night. He had categorized her, labeled her, dismissed her. But he had never seen her. Christine draws the contrast between Simon's self-righteous blindness and Jesus's radical, costly, compassionate sight — the kind that crossed every social boundary to acknowledge a woman that no one else in the room was willing to dignify. Christine Caine is honest about what it cost her to go from looking at a poster of a missing child in a Thessaloniki airport to actually seeing her — and how that moment of seeing became A21. She names the real enemies of compassionate sight: the selfie culture that has turned the camera perpetually toward ourselves, the compassion fatigue that causes us to withdraw when the pain gets too heavy, and the busyness that lets us look at the people at our own dinner table without ever really seeing them. The takeaway that will send you back into your world differently: seeing is hard work, but we were born for this.

✨ If you've ever asked questions like…

✅ What does it actually mean to be called? Is it just for leaders and missionaries?

✅ How do I start seeing the people around me the way Jesus sees them?

✅ I feel so overwhelmed by the brokenness in the world. How do I keep caring without burning out?

✅ What is compassion fatigue and how do I know if I'm experiencing it?

✅ How do I move from passively feeling bad about injustice to actually doing something about it?

✅ Why does it feel like I'm too busy or too small to make a difference?

✅ What does the harvest field actually look like in my everyday, ordinary life?

…then this is your episode.

What you'll learn:

→ Why looking and seeing are not the same thing — what Simon's blindness in Luke 7 reveals about the self-righteous, label-driven way we categorize people rather than truly seeing them, and what it costs us when we do.

→ How compassion is not just an emotion but the engine of calling — why we can only sustain seeing and serving people over the long term when we are connected to the source of that compassion rather than running on passion alone.

→ Why calling begins not with a platform but with a posture — and how Jesus's pattern of seeing one woman at Simon's dinner table, then hitting the road again to see many more, is the exact pattern He is inviting every one of us into right now.
