Practical Christianity Podcast

Every believer wants to know the will of God. We pray for guidance, wait for signs, and sometimes fear we’ll miss a crucial turn in the road. But Scripture shows that God’s will isn’t a secret code to be cracked, it’s a life of surrender, obedience, and trust. In this opening episode of Discerning the Will of God, we’ll look beyond formulas and fleeting impressions to the deeper reality of what it means to walk with God daily.

Drawing from Romans 12:1–2, we’ll learn that discerning God’s will doesn’t begin with speculation about the future, but with consecration or dedication in the present. When we offer ourselves as living sacrifices and allow the Holy Spirit to renew our minds, we begin to see life through the lens of God’s truth. Guidance flows naturally from relationship.

Whether you’re facing a major decision or simply want to walk more closely with Christ, this episode will help you rediscover that God’s will isn’t hidden from his children, it’s revealed to those who know and trust him.

Everywhere you look, people are searching for change - new habits, better health, clearer purpose. But beneath that longing lies something deeper: a God-given restlessness that no self-improvement plan can satisfy.In this first episode of The Transforming Life, we explore the universal ache for renewal, the soul’s deep desire to be made new, and show how the Gospel of Jesus Christ alone offers real transformation.Drawing on Scripture, the wisdom of John Wesley and Richard Baxter, and Christian experience, we’ll see that the Christian life isn’t about trying harder; it’s about becoming new through union with Christ and the power of his Spirit.This message lays the foundation for the entire series on sanctification, spiritual formation, and Christlike living, showing that the change we seek begins not with us, but with Christ in us, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).
