This question is deeply personal, often emotional, and one that many of us wrestle with at different points in our journey. The question is, what is God's will for my life? In this episode of MercyTalk, host Erin Gentry is joined by Mercy Multiplied’s Founder and President, Nancy Alcorn, and Executive Pastor, Heidi Stevens, for a heartfelt and practical conversation about understanding God’s will and why it’s inseparable from His love.
You’ll also hear why we don’t need to be afraid to come to Him with our questions, and encouragement to anchor your beliefs in Scripture rather than personal experience or cultural trends alone.
In this episode, we cover:
- God's Word is His will.
- How God’s will is rooted in His love and revealed through His Word
- Why we don’t need to be afraid to come to Him with our questions
- Encouragement to anchor your beliefs in Scripture rather than personal experience or cultural trends alone
