Kingdom Life Coaching: Untangle the Noise, Hear God's Voice, Clarify Your Calling

Ep 27 // How to Find Godly Counsel and Test All Things

When you hear God’s voice in your life, it’s important to seek Godly confirmation and counsel. We don’t live this life of faith in a vacuum! In fact, isolation is dangerous. We are to test all things…

Join Megan as she discusses:

• An amazing testimony of a listener’s radical act of faith!

• How important it is to seek Godly counsel when listening to the Lord. 

• What church “should” be

• Why being involved and connected to a healthy church is vital for spiritual health and growth. 

• One sign of a healthy church

• How Gideon’s story is a model to follow

• How to pay attention to the difference in motive when asking for a “sign”

Questions you’ll ask yourself in this episode:

• What is God showing me through current circumstances that would point to His hand at work in your life?

• Do you feel connected in a healthy church right now? If yes, celebrate! If no, why not? What do you need to get connected?

• Are you asking for a sign because the word from God feels hard? Or are you asking for a sign for confirmation because you truly don’t know what to do.

• Who is someone you could talk to right now for Godly counsel?

Megan is so excited to walk this journey with you! Join her to have conversations on reframing life, love, and calling to live the life God has so purposefully created for you.
