How do you actually know if it’s God’s will… or just your own desire?

In this episode of the Ross & Ava podcast, we’re getting real about what it’s looked like to try and force our plans, rush God’s timeline, and ultimately surrender to His better way. From almost rushing our wedding to confronting hidden sin while trying to build a Christian platform — we’re sharing the real, raw process of learning how to walk in God’s pace, posture, and purpose.

📖 Scriptures Referenced (NIV):

Ecclesiastes 3:1 — “There is a time for everything…”

Proverbs 16:9 — “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”

Luke 16:10 — “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much…”

James 1:5 — “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God…”
