Title: Willing
Speaker: Pastor Darryl Williams

Location: Melbourne, Australia

This episode explores the biblical theme of willingness through the account of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis 24, showing how God’s plan unfolds through hearts that are ready and responsive. The story is presented not simply as history, but as a clear picture of God preparing a bride for His Son, pointing forward to Christ and the formation of the Body of Christ.

The focus centres on Rebekah’s simple but decisive response — a willingness to leave the familiar and move forward in faith. That same attitude is traced through Scripture, showing that God’s work is never driven by coercion, ability, or status, but by a voluntary, joyful commitment to His purpose. Willingness is shown to be the starting point of obedience and the fuel for spiritual growth.

Drawing from the examples of David, Solomon, and the early church, the episode calls for an ongoing, wholehearted response to God’s calling. The message is clear: the work is great, the calling is high, and God takes pleasure in people who offer themselves willingly and consistently in service to Him.
