How to Discern God's Will and Stick With It :: Tricia Goyer [Ep 179]

You clearly heard God’s call. But why is obeying Him sometimes so difficult? In today’s interview my longtime friend and renowned author, Tricia Goyer, discusses obeying the Lord even when it isn’t easy, and how He blesses the faithfulness of His children.

Listen as Tricia discusses the unique way the Lord grew her family through unplanned pregnancies, biological children, foster care, and adoption. You’ll love her honesty and transparency as she shares the hard moments that had her questioning decisions, and the way the Lord has blessed her family along the way.

What we chat about:

• Obeying the Lord’s call to adopt (again and again and again) even after feeling “finished”
• Taking a break from speaking and writing to shepherd her daughters as they healed from past trauma.
• The sacrifice of stepping away from public ministry to focus on personal ministry at home.
• Understanding God’s heart and direction for our lives by spending time in His Word and in prayer
• Being called to multiple ministries and projects
• Seeing a need that coincides with God’s commands from His Word
• Trusting God while navigating His direction for our lives
• Obeying God even when it’s hard and you find yourself asking, “why did I do this?”
• Reaching out to our support systems when walking through hard providence
• Finding beauty in the chaos and being thankful for the hard times
• Moses communed with God face to face despite being called to a seemingly impossible
• The importance of steadfast obedience even though we want a quick fix
• The legacy we pass to our children when they see us obey the Lord despite difficulty
