This could ruin my life! : How to know if God is calling you into something.

The Big Question: How Do You Know God Is Leading You?

[02:30]
JP dives into the common dilemma—how can you know if God is truly asking you to do something major, like move countries or make a huge life change? He clarifies that while obeying God is always best, it doesn’t guarantee an easy path or material rewards. The real treasure is found in relationship and adventure with God.

[05:40] The Biblical Pattern: Relationship, Not a Formula
JP emphasizes there’s no magic checklist or formula. In scripture, big moves always come from an intimate, ongoing relationship with God. Every decision is a relational adventure, not a rigid set of steps.

[08:15] The “Snowball” Framework: Key Elements for Decision-Making
JP introduces his practical framework, likening the process to a snowball gathering momentum. The essential elements are:

• Desire and Vision: A personal longing that aligns with God’s heart.

• Biblical Foundation: Knowing who God is and what He wants.

• Skills and Resources: Recognizing what you bring to the table.

• The Voice of God: Receiving confirmation through scripture, people, circumstances, or direct words.

[15:00] The Obstacle of Fear and the Step of Faith
Fear is the stopper that keeps the snowball from rolling. JP explains the need to identify and confront fears, letting God remove them or learning to move forward despite them. The first step of faith doesn’t have to be huge; what matters is starting with small, intentional actions.

[20:00] The Roller Coaster of Confirmation
Once you’re moving, JP describes the “roller coaster” of open and closed doors, emotions, and confirmations. God guides the journey, and practical indicators—like visas, resources, or key conversations—help you discern if you’re on the right path.

[25:00] Vision, Refinement, and Perseverance
As you progress, the process shifts into refining your vision, persevering, and continuing to listen to God. JP notes that many people get stuck at the desire stage and never clarify their vision, which can lead to changing direction too soon.

[29:00] Conclusion and Invitation to Action
JP recaps the framework: aligned desire, biblical foundation, skills, God’s voice, overcoming fear, faith steps, and perseverance. He encourages listeners to reflect on their own journey and share their experiences. The episode closes with an invitation to join the community and a poetic reflection on God’s voice and love.

Tune in for a clear, practical framework on making big decisions with God—full of real stories, actionable steps, and an invitation to the adventure of faith.
