In this episode of the Live Your Purpose Podcast, we talk about one of the hardest—and most important—parts of the Christian life: learning to listen to God’s leading.

I share my personal journey of leaving my hometown and moving to Omaha to help start a church plant, including the doubts, fears, and questions that came with taking a bold step of faith. How do you know what’s truly from God and what’s just your own thoughts? How do you leave behind what’s comfortable to step into what God is calling you toward?

We also talk about that spiritual “sixth sense”—the quiet confidence that comes when you’re aligned with the Holy Spirit. That moment when you just know that you know that you know, even when the path ahead isn’t fully clear.

If you’re wrestling with a decision, sensing a nudge from God, or feeling stuck between comfort and calling, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- How to discern God’s voice amid uncertainty

- Why obedience often requires leaving comfort behind

- How fear and peace can coexist

- What it feels like to be in alignment with the Holy Spirit

- Practical filters for making faith-filled decisions

In today’s episode of the Live Your Purpose Podcast, we’re talking about the one thing that separates people who start from those who actually finish: daily habits.

Most people rely on motivation — but motivation fades. Discipline, tracking, and habit-stacking are what create real, lasting results.

We’ll break down:

- Why tracking progress and setting clear goals is essential

- Why starters are everywhere but finishers are one in a million

- How habit stacking makes new routines effortless

- The truth about discipline vs. motivation

- How small, consistent actions compound into massive change

If you’re tired of cycling through “start–stop–start again,” this episode gives you the framework to finally build momentum that sticks.

🎧 Listen in and learn how to transform your habits, your discipline, and ultimately your life.

How often have you felt like your past disqualified you from your purpose? In this episode of the Live Your Purpose Podcast, Sayre Bedinger & Monte Gannon will discuss how your past does the opposite of ruining your purpose or your testimony -- if you let it.

Every one of us has a past, but the key is that we don't take up permanent residence there. There's a huge difference between acknowledging your past and living in it.

We hope this episode encourages you, no matter where you've been or what you've been through, to allow God to move THROUGH your past!

Starting small is often the most difficult aspect of living your God-given purpose. It's so easy to be obsessed with instant gratification, but making incremental changes daily will often lead to the biggest results.

This episode of the Live Your Purpose Podcast is a conversation between Sayre Bedinger and Pastor Dave Gifford, talking about Dave's journey through becoming a pastor after having a background in military, the medical field, fire rescue, and much more.
