Strays, Orphans, and Exiles

Ep. 18 - How to Practice Discernment


Listen Later

On this episode, our guest is Cathy Stewart. She is the interim minister at Knox Presbyterian Church in Guelph and author of the book, A Goodness I Cannot Explain. Cathy describes her encounter with a difficult medical diagnosis and how she faced the unknown without fear by practicing discernment. We discuss how the three-step process of discernment can apply to any life decision, including those that many churches and congregations need to make in the face of an unknown future.
