We have ideas, dreams, projects, ministries, and businesses stirring in our hearts. But one of the most important questions we can learn to ask is this:
Is this from God… or is it just my ambition?
In this episode, I explore the difference between a good idea and a God-given assignment. Because not every opportunity we see is necessarily something we are called to build.
We’ll talk about discernment, interior peace, the role of ambition in the spiritual life, and how to begin recognizing the subtle ways the Holy Spirit guides our decisions.
If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like:
- Should I pursue this idea?
- Is God asking me to start something… or let something go?
- How do I know if this desire is coming from Him?
…this conversation is for you.
Because the goal isn’t to suppress ambition.
The goal is to surrender it — so that what we build is truly aligned with what God is asking of us.
