Welcome to Wholesome Thinking, the podcast where we create a safe space to use the gifts that God gave us, challenge people’s minds and stimulate wholesome thinking. In this episode, we decided to do a little something different. We did a Q&A and answered questions from listeners. Below are the questions we discussed:

What keeps you motivated on your growth journey and what encouragement do you have for people who may sometimes lack motivation? 

How do you know when Gods calling you toward/away from something and differentiate His voice from your own desires. 

From our perspective, what is discernment and what does it look and how did we get on the level that you are in being able to say “these people/things are/aren't for me” and also “this isn’t what God has for me.”

How do we have the courage and social skills to go out and talk on a podcast like this or share the Gospel with people that may be strangers? How can an introvert overcome not wanting to share?

How do we deal with grief? We mentioned the analogy with the boat but how do we manage and also believe in such difficult times to know that we will find land and not just be floating in the ocean?

Let’s jump in!
